Anyone here use their woodstove for cooking? Now and then ill warm stuff up on top, but have some people bake potatoes inside?? Just curious, i figure if the thing is hot I might as well use it instead of starting up the oven. Any secret tips would be great!!

Someone needs to gather up some Recipes and create an AS Woodstove Cookbook.

We've done breakfast on the stove when the power was out. It's got a nice flat area that works great for frying pans, etc. I dunno, there's something about eggs & bacon fried in cast iron on a woodstove...

We always leave the teakettle on the stove overnight, so there's hot water ready in the morning.

You will often find a pot of beans and ham simmering on our stove.


Good stuff

Went over to a friends house when the power was out, he was cooking some stew on his.
I offered to loan him my generator but he declined the offer.
OWB’s are nice but you can’t cook on them very easy, got to get a wood stove someday!

Our power was out for about a week last winter. Came home from logging in the snow all day to a house that smelled like heaven...big pot of jambalaya warming on the woodstove. Between the woodstove and the BBQ we ate pretty darn good.

My sister lives on a ranch in the Coast Range with only a small generator for electricity. She does all her cooking and baking on a wood stove...that's just about a lost art anymore.

Wood stoves are excellent for cooking,,,, just like anything else, but have a little more penitence with the heat.

Were I am down right most at ease is when I have my Dutch Oven buried somewhere deep in the embers!

A fav of mine is a dinner for two, invite that gal that likes campfires for this one.

Take a couple Cornish game hens and sear/brown them on all side with a very hot heat in bacon grease. next scrape around a couple cups of wild rice as the fire cools to brown the rice. Stand the hens up drummies-up and separate with red potatoes, pack the hens cavities with sage stuffing some celery if you like it, and a some of the wild rice and mix in a few pearl onions.

On top of the potatoes brake corn on the cob to stand it up to fit the rest of the larger areas, slip in a bunch of carrot sticks a few brussel sprouts and the rest of the pearl onions and bast with broth.

Set the strips of bacon you started with (to sear the hens) draped over the hens and just keep it simmering with slow coals top and bottom.

Never check a dutch oven unless it's steaming real good, but in about 45 - 50 minutes, when the dummies start to spin in the sockets, space some pop-biskets (like the Pillsbury rolls) and start a fire on the lid,,,about 7 minutes or when there brown on the lid side, flip the biskets and restart the fire on the lid.

Pour the wine and serve in about 5 minutes, or when the biskets are browned on the second side.

An AS woodstove cookbook is a great idea.

We have cooked chili and some kinda bean soup on it quite a few times over the winter in a dutch oven. works great.

You kiddin me! This old gal cooks all winter long. If it's going it cooks. Really works well too as the top is like having one giant element/burner. You just slide the pot/pan too the left for more or the right for less heat. Bakes great too but you need too spin the pan 180 degrees at halftime.

Thats incredible, looks like a lot of fun. I remember my great grandma telling me when I was learning how to bake break, "well, you'll never learn how to do it right since we dont have a wood stove anymore, this will just have to do."

Good call on the title change, TreeCo.

Season a beef chuck roast with salt, pepper and garlic. Place in cast iron pot with about a half cup of water. Cover and place on top of fireplace or woodstove, try to keep the surface temp under 300 degrees. Let cook a few hours until falling apart. Take 2 large forks and pull the meat to shreds while still inside the pot and in it's own juices. Add salt and additional garlic to taste. If you like, add a little yellow mustard(hot dog mustard).

Scoop onto warm poboy bread or buns and enjoy. Trust me, this isn't just good, it's friggin awesome.

Pasta and Beans

This was my Nana's pasta fagiole that I make once a week!

Soak small white (Navy) or if you can find some borlotti beans overnight. In the morning simmer them for 2-3 hours prior too starting the receipe. (or you can just use a can of drained Great Northern, Cannaloni or Small white beans.
Take 5-6 slices thick bacon and chop into a large skillet.
Chop a medium onion, 4-5 cloves fresh garlic, and 2 -3 medium carrots in after the bacons about half done. Add crushed red pepper flakes too taste but at least 3-4 shakes and a bit of black pepper too.
Saute this on your stove top till the bacon's cooked and the onions are translucent. (maybe 20min) Then chop in two medium plum tomatoes and add the beans sautee a further 10 min. While this is happening.
Take a large pot and pour in 2 cans chicken stock or equiv water a chicken cubes. When the stock is hot, take your skillet and scrape in the sautee and beans. Add about 2 cups or 1/2 pound medium shells, orrechette, or ditali pasta and up the heat too a low boil and cook till pasta is aldente.(Usually 8-10 min) Make sure you have enough stock too just cover the pasta. (add a little water if needed)

Throw a loaf of a good crusty bread into your oven when you put the pasta in too cook.

Serve it up in bowls,add a drizzle of good olive oil and some parm or romano cheese and hunk of warm bread. Manga!

I dont really have exact quantities, i usually just throw this together.

two cans navy beans. or soak about a lb of beans overnight
fry up about 1lb of bacon
1/4 head cabbage
2 potatoes chopped up
1 onion
2-3 carrots
4-5 cloves garlic
1 tbspn olive oil
basil
oregano
black pepper
salt
2 chicken bullion cubes
cover everything with water
add just enough tomato paste (or catsup) to turn it orange.

simmer on stovetop for as long as you wish, if you use hard beans, make sure they are soft
