cooking on a domestic wood burning stove

[Dave Budd]

I got stuck in my workshop over the weekend and I had fish fingers, soup and even a nice cottage pie cooked on the top of my woodburner (not at the same time!) very nice it was too, especially simple as I didn't have any cooking kit with me, just an old metal biscuit tin, some kaowool (laid it over the tin to create an oven for heating the cottage pie) and a bit of metal mesh (for grilling the fishfingers on).

Of course I could've used the gas oven in my main workshop, but where is the fun in that?!

That coin tip is great, I use s-hooks from the kitchen utensil rack.

We had one at my gun club outdoor range years ago
Was always an urgency to get to the club first on a sunday morning to get the fire going and then cook bacon butties
Am salovating at the thought of it now
on cold days ( heavy snow etc ) we had it glowing to keep us all warm
very fond memories of wood burning stoves

They make great baked spuds

and a slow cooker, I bring the stew to boil on the electric and tranfer for simmer.

No doubt there are better ways

There is nothing quite like a Potjie full of Venison stew left on the woodburner with a pot of coffee while out in the woods for the day.

Great to come home to.
