I'm planning on moving back to the country and this would certainly do the trick for alternative heating when the power goes out. My mother used to cook on one of these when I was 5. I remember being allowed to clean out the excess ashes when the stove was cool.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-86335845901015321232008-11-05T22:56:00.000+01:002008-11-05T22:56:00.000+01:00Hi FFS.

I think the trick with cakes is to know the oven temp and that can only be practice and possibly a cup of water in there too to help the humidity.<BR/><BR/>I don't usually iron but I've been using it to dry the clothes due to the weather and if you fold tidily and then put the clothes on top pof the plate covers it sort of steam dries the washing and they come off looking ironed.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip about fence posts, I have a stack of old ones so I'll bring them into the barn to dry out and give them a go.dNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531819276422542672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-78406176890812438732008-11-05T19:19:00.000+01:002008-11-05T19:19:00.000+01:00Yes, I too love my woodburning cooker.

When we move I'll try the baking bit - my mum hates baking in it, she always burns the cake. Haven't tried the ironing bit though (don't normally do ironing!). Mine likes not too big lumps of dry old wood - old fencing posts are great!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-65907965381169381982008-11-05T17:00:00.000+01:002008-11-05T17:00:00.000+01:00Hi there HDR, good luck with getting the stove, th...Hi there HDR, good luck with getting the stove, there is something to them that I think resonates with the self-supporting lifestyle, maybe because it's the feel of a slower pace, no touch of a button or turn of a dial instant heat change here but something more steady.dNDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00531819276422542672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074208485086382221.post-5615331178510670132008-11-05T16:57:00.000+01:002008-11-05T16:57:00.000+01:00Hi all, I've finally made a folder for blog c...Hi all, I've finally made a folder for blog comments in my e-mail programme so I very quickly found out how far behind I was on answering them, my apologies to all.<BR/><BR/>I really like the cooker although I'm still in a learning curve. I think I need a higher calorific wood as it can take quite a while to come up to a really hot temperature.<BR/><BR/>The loveliest thing is having the source of warmth - a sort of keep the home firs burning.<BR/><BR/>Cooking is getting much better again a bit hit and miss with the very variable temperature and I agree with you <Breezy&mt;, more baking because it's already hot so it's oven warmed croissants for me now instead of microwaved!<BR/><BR/>Aims it does feel lovely and homely and very comforting.<BR/><BR/>Mickle, it's the ironing bit that has me hook line and sinker and the word verification is quite a coincidence isn't it.<BR/><BR/>Hi Olive, it was a special treat to me partially justified by being able to utilise a renewable energy source that I can grow myself.
