Wood Fire Stove Top Cooking
Wood fired heater for stove top cooking.
To save on gas during winter we cook most of our meals on our wood fired heater, so we are heating our home and cooking our food all in one. It is a great way to keep energy bills down and save on fossil fuels. Reducing our impact on climate change.
We can cook any meal just as we would on a gas stove top. The wood fired stove can be managed to be hotter or cooler by allowing more or less air flow into the system to burn the wood. It is absolutely fantastic for putting a soup on in the morning and letting it slowly cook away for lunch on those really cold days.

Not only do we cook regular meals using our wood heater but we also take the time to prepare additional ingredients particularly those which take a lot of cooking time. For instance we always re-use any bones or fish carcasses, like the local smoked trout that we buy. We cook them up in water with some herbs or vegetables (even parts of vegetable plants we don’t eat are great flavoring for stock) pulled out from our vegetable garden to prepare stocks. We then store in re-usable containers and keep in the fridge for later use.
We also take advantage of this free energy and always keep a pot full of water on the wood fire stove top to have hot water on tap for tea / coffee or cleaning up, particularly doing the dishes.
