How to Cook on a Woodstove

            Now there are wood stoves, and then there are wood cooking stoves. Just be aware of the differences, mostly in design.

            Here's some links that may help you on most, like wood stoves, or even wood cooking stoves.

There are many more links on this subject, too.

            And for that matter, here's a "start-up" link on using a "Dutch-oven":  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_oven

            The image I think many  Americans have  is the ole western chuck wagon cook making beans cooking in an old cast iron pot suspended from a tripod over a fire. That worked well, too. The cook probably had some spices in the mix, too.

            Now I plan on using Coleman fold out ovens to do my baking on top of a hot wood stove, vice getting a wood powered cooking oven. That should work OK, and has so far. After all, most Americans like some baked goods, too.  And like daily, or at least as often as possible. And one lesson learned is that it is difficult to adjust the heat on a wood stove. Hence, the cooking times in the fold out ovens do vary from the usual recipes, but they do work for the intended reason. There is one more lesson learned about the fold out ovens. They tend to like RV (recreational vehicle) or toaster oven size pans.

 

PS The cooking times do also vary for solar ovens, at least what I use.
PPS "Learning" your wood stove setup is kind of like getting married. You just have to learn how it works for your intended reasons.
