The kitchen still retains an early-18th-century construction that originally formed part of a great hearth - a brick extraction hood that rests on a metal tie-rod and two wrought-iron stanchions. The large brick stove has been recreated on the basis of similar surviving stoves. It has several furnaces and deep arched niches used for drying firewood. Quite often an open fire was made on the top of the stove, in which case the copper vessels were suspended on iron tripods.
