Hello,
for the new kitchen that will be built soon, I would like to include a coal stove in the plan, in addition to the regular electric stove, of course.
I want to integrate it as much as possible into a kitchen unit. The kitchen will have an L-shape (with dishwasher, sink, and cooktop) plus a single row on the opposite wall (with oven and microwave). The stove is to be placed in this row. Currently, the room is almost completely gutted; a load-bearing wall still needs to be installed, and the ceiling insulated.
My main question, however, is whether any of you own a coal stove and if you could recommend a brand or model. Visually, I like the Wamsler W1-75 and W1-90 stoves very much; I want a fairly modern look in stainless steel or black. A built-in oven is important to me.
Do you have any experience with these kinds of stoves? What should I pay attention to—also considering the further kitchen planning (which is now only possible to a limited extent)?

I would first clarify whether something like this can be integrated into a row. A quick check with the manufacturer didn’t reveal anything, but I could imagine that these are only designed to be operated freestanding. Contact a chimney sweep!
Both fresh air supply and exhaust will be necessary at the installation site.
Edit: Did some quick research. There are special spacers for such stoves if you want to integrate them in a row. Waste heat therefore plays a role. Check with your preferred manufacturer about this and how much clearance is required.

Thank you for your responses!
There is supply and exhaust ventilation; however, the conventional cooktop with the extractor hood is on the other side. I believe I read that you’re not allowed to operate an exhaust hood during heating mode, but I might be misremembering. In any case, the cooktop and hood on the other side are already firmly planned to be part of the island of the "L" (one leg extends into the room).
The Wamsler can be integrated, yes. That’s exactly what I like about it. We plan to visit the Wamsler showroom soon to see the stove in person. I have read several reviews beforehand – but as usual, some people are very enthusiastic while others say the stove becomes useless within two years. After all, such a stove is not exactly cheap, and I want to use it frequently.
