Ours isn't convenient to the kitchen either! I can't wait to get our cook stove in, hopefully before next winter (?) <br /><br />I like Apple Jack Creek's idea of a swinging cast iron arm over the stove. I may need to try that too.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28394335.post-54292632275728001562011-02-24T20:56:39.621-08:002011-02-24T20:56:39.621-08:00Hey, I did that too one night, just to see if I co...Hey, I did that too one night, just to see if I could! Put all the leftovers in jars in a big pot of water and heated them on the woodstove. This was back before we had the cookstove (we replaced the heat-only version with a Bakers Oven from Pinnacle, which we love as it is small and fits in the same spot). <br />We also got one of those cast iron swing arms and mounted it to the side - you can suspend the tea kettle over the stove and keep it warm but not boiling, or hang a dutch oven over the stove top. It was not even all that expensive, and I had it shipped from the US. Came with a bunch of S hooks and all the mounting hardware, too. We use it a lot now that we have the actual cookstove in that spot too - it's nice to keep the tea warm. :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08892085037131749502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28394335.post-85666300593321033032011-02-23T16:46:33.400-08:002011-02-23T16:46:33.400-08:00In my experiments years ago at our Breitenbush cab...In my experiments years ago at our Breitenbush cabin, I found the wood cook stove a far more efficient heat source for the cabin than the various wood heating stoves we used there. The only advantage of the latter was warming up a cold cabin, but it burned through a lot of wood to do it. And there was nothing I couldn't cook with that stove--wish I had it here at this house, where the gas (propane) stove sometimes drives me nuts.owlfeatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106765628225780429noreply@blogger.com
