I live in Florida and have no intention of getting a woodstove. I do remember my grandmother cooking on one and wanted to learn what I should have learned as a child: how did she do it? This book is fun and sorta thorough and somewhat tongue in cheek. Lots about how different woods burn and what a cord is and why dry not green wood is best. Recipes are a bonus. It talks about setting up the stove and taking care of it and cleaning it and sigh...glad I'm not cooking on it! Excellent choice for nostalgic people. I missed my chance to learn when we lived in Maine. The schooners and windjammers in the bay used wood stoves for cooking. I never went out after a short sail. The is a fun book if you want to appreciate your microwave and take out!

A review of everything you could "almost" think of for a woodstove and it's cooking. Choosing, buying, parts, cleaning/maintaining, types of wood, how to use, etc. Second half has recipes to make using your woodstove.

This book was very helpful while I was learning to cook on my wood cookstove.

Absolutely amazing. Has been a godsend while I have an old style woodstove.

I dream of having a cookstove like this in my home. Not to replace my actual gas kitchen stove for sure ;-) but to have for use in the winter. I have a flat top woodstove and do some cooking on that. Mostly use my woodstove for brewing tea, keeping coffee/tea hot, thawing thing, raising bread, biscuits, rolls etc. Loved this book! I got some great ideas for next winter now!
