I can't count the number of wonderful meals I've had cooked on a woodstove by my grandparents and my parents. Some of the best Thanksgiving turkeys came out of the old Clarion cook stove. Other uses for the kitchen wood stove were drying mittens and boots behind the stove, and extending the life of DC batteries on the warming shelf. The temperature on the top of a wood cook stove is not uniform, so you just slide the pot/pan to where the temp is right for the item you are cooking. Some of the best biscuits I ever ate came from the ovene of a wood cookstove.
