Electric cooktop and coal stove in new kitchen

If you also want to cook on the coal stove, you should actually plan it so that it is in a line with the electric hob, so that, for example, you can capture both cooking areas with a ceiling extractor hood construction.

But then I would consider good fresh air supply, otherwise you draw smoke from the coal stove. With my wood stove, I cannot turn on the extractor hood next to it without pulling out smoke, even with the window tilted.

Another thing to consider is what temperatures the adjacent materials can withstand. I have an approximately 10 cm spacer between the wood stove and the kitchen. There should also be no wall cabinet above the stove. Unlike an electric stove, such an oven radiates heat upward over the entire surface. In our old kitchen, they tried three times to re-glue the veneer on the adjacent wall cabinet before they screwed on an aluminum strip.

Thank you for your response, Hanse! I am currently dealing with the topic - whether and in what form/up to what proximity hanging cabinets are acceptable there. I can still vary whether the hanging cabinets might perhaps go to the other side of the kitchen - I actually wanted to prevent that; but it does no good if the cabinets get damaged there. How far away was the neighboring hanging cabinet?

Hang the cabinets somewhere else.
Do you really want a coal stove, or do you mean a wood stove?
I find coal kind of strange....

I would advise against Wamsler, the quality is no longer what it used to be...

I have a Lohberger wood stove.

The Wamsler can be fired with lignite briquettes or wood. I want that too - a mix of both, even though the wood will probably be used more often since it is simply available. There is also a Wamsler in the living room, which is of great quality - but it is already a few years old. Therefore, I would really like to know if the quality is still as good. The Lohberger also looks great visually - but it is only designed for wood, right? I would like to keep the option of lignite briquettes open.

Have you ever paid attention to the safety distances from the stove?

Here are the pictures. (Unfortunately not tidied up)

Between the electric stove and the wood oven, you can see the spacer. The spacer has shielding plates on the inside. In the other picture, you can see a veneered panel on the side of the wall cabinet. This caused us the most problems. The fronts caused none, as they are solid birch.

If possible, I would keep at least one cabinet width (60cm) distance between the wall cabinet and the wood oven.
