Beside just heating the house my wood burner does other stuff. Fresh from the oven, Home made bread. Slap on some butter and its good as gone. Only trouble is its gone too fast. Yummy Here is a picture of the oven on my woodburner.
Yes! For sure many do some cooking or baking on their wood stoves. Here is a picture I took when my wife was making apple butter.
I'm jealous of those who can cook with their stove top. I can't with my stove due to design ( just not hot enough on top). About the only thing I can do is put a tv tray in front and dry boots in a hurry with the blower!
