    Sadly that’s not a woodstove, that would be too good.

    That’s probably an Aga style stove. Those are mostly made with cast-iron and use radiant heat to cook. Each oven ‘compartent’ has a diffrent function (eg. top left is warming, bottom left is for roasting and a big one for baking). They work kinda like a masonry heater. And are meant to be always on.

      Arent they supposed to also double as heating the house, or at least the main room?

        Yeah but you can get stoves that look just like that. A lot of them are actually induction these days rather than radiant, the main benefit being it doesn’t heat the kitchen up to sweltering temperatures.
