Cook/Bake Wood Stoves
We have an old cook stove/oven from back in the early 1900's up in the garage.
But, here's something for the rich prepper made by Vermont Casting. If any of you rich preppers get one, let us know how it works out:

Re: Wood Stoves . . .
Here are some instructions on how to fire/cook on a old style cook stove. We have one and it takes practice, especially the baking part:

Re: Wood Stoves . . .
I have a Blaze King for heat. I cook on top of it occasionally using my cast iron pots and pans. Theoretically, it's not a cook-stove (because EPA laws) but I cook on it anyway. It's a shame to waste that heat.
I have baked bread and cake on my old Vogelzang, and over the firepit outside, it is possible, you just have to practice. Dutch ovens are handy for bread and cake baking.

Wood Cooking & Heating
http://www.endtimesreport.com/wood_cooking_heating.html
Ultimately, we will all probably be cooking and heating with wood stoves. But in any type of emergency scenario, it would be much safer to cook and heat with kerosene stoves and heaters. Wood stoves radiate a huge thermal plume visible to infrared detectors, so anyone with night vision goggles, or anyone looking down from a helicopter or airplane, would definitely be able to spot your location in a flash. During daylight hours, the smoke is visible for miles, sort of like a neon sign advertising "free hot food here for the taking." No thanks. It is better to keep out of sight, out of mind until the dust settles, and use kerosene heaters and cookers.

Why You Should NEVER Use Paper to Start a Wood Stove
https://rethinksurvival.com/why-you-should-never-use-paper-to-start-a-wood-stove/
(SNIP) ... my brother-in-law had been trying to keep the house warm with my in-laws wood stove ...
Unfortunately, he had been using paper to get the wood burning fireplace going rather than firestarter bricks which they normally use. ... CONTINUED

The No Paper Rule, Why I Never Start Fires With Paper
https://skillcult.com/blog/2015/11/20/the-no-paper-rule-why-i-never-start-fires-with-paper
It’s fire season again (the one where you get to have fires, not the other one) and I wanted to share something about the fire culture here at Turkeysong homestead. There has been a no paper rule in place in my households for a very long time. That is, there is no paper used to start the fire, just natural stuff. I am very pleased with this institution and hope to never change it. I’ll tell you why, and why I think it’s a good approach for people who are interested in self reliance, or in fire in general. ---CONTINUED---

How to Use a Wood Cookstove
https://practicalselfreliance.com/wood-cook-stove/
Wood cookstoves were once a part of every home, long before propane and electricity became options. They allow you the flexibility to harvest your own cooking fuel from the land, rather than relying on fossil fuel or grid-based fuel sources.
The challenge is, there can be a pretty steep learning curve cooking over wood. It’s not as simple as flicking on a button, but with a little practice, you can cook just about anything on a wood cookstove. ---CONTINUED---
