If you have a wood-burning stove in your home or are interested in installing one, you might wonder whether you can use it for cooking. The answer is yeswood stoves have been used throughout the course of time for cooking meals and heating homes alike.

The Swedish Stove, or kakelugn, is a masonry heater designed to heat an interior through radiant heating. Radiant heating technologies have existed for centuries, but the Swedish tile stove is associated with Carl Johan Cronstedt, a Swedish polymath from the eighteenth century.

Well, a tiled stove is designed to maintain the heat from a fire as long as possible. Experts created a labyrinth of vertical passageways that the heat must be passed through, and thus the stove retains the heat longer than from the kind of heat sources that emit heat directly into the room and the chimney.

A wood burning stove can also be used entirely off-grid, which means that you can cook in the kitchen or any other room, cabin, or vehicle, without having to install a gas or electricity supply!

As we stated before with the pans, cast iron holds its heat really well and it heats evenly making it the perfect choice for wood stove cooking.

Wood stoves aren’t typically designed to heat an entire house but sized to warm a particular room in a home. However, installing a wood stove in the right location in a home, along with helping to circulate air between rooms, or using a stove boiler, can help to raise temperatures across a whole house.

The Deer Hunter keeps a pot of water on top of the woodstove. While there’s no better heat than wood, at least in my opinion, the heat does have a tendency to dry out the air. Leaving a pot of boiling water on the stove allows for at least some moisture to be put back into the air.

Combination Wood / Oil Fired Appliances on Same Floor May Share a Common Flue. A wood-fired heating appliance may be vented into the same chimney flue as an oil-fired heating appliance provided that they are on the same floor – in some jurisdictions.

Place the bird into the wood oven for about 5-8 minutes to brown the skin. Make sure you watch the bird to ensure the skin does not burn. Once you have a nice brown color on the skin take the bird out of the oven and cover the whole pan and bird with aluminum foil.

It does take a little getting used to, so try this when you have some time to experiment. If you have an old fashioned wood cook stove with an oven you can use it to bake breads, cakes, and pies a bit more easily than in a Dutch oven on the stovetop.
