Stove pipe exit--cooking

[Wintergreen282]

I didn't read your whole post carefully. Good, just too technical and my wood stove is already in. Have you ruled out propane?

Like Jafo, I do use my wood-stove for some cooking, but only if already fired up for heating purposes. Otherwise I cook 100% with a 2 burner Colman propane camp stove. Removing the top cover makes it look sleek - less camping like. Great size for a yurt. Whole thing has worked great!

(Also bought their tiny "oven" which works so so in a pinch.).

Brand new the whole system would be under $200. Waaaay cheaper if you bought second hand or scrounged.

A twenty gallon tank hosed to the outside lasts multiple months - even heating water for dishes, personal hygiene, and up to three hot water bottles to warm up the bed at night (and my friends think I am roughing it! They have no idea just how comfy I stay. Lol). Winter or summer, I've never had a problem - even with extreme New England temps. Last tank fill-up was under $7.

A nice set of cast iron makes clean up a breeze.

I'm fairly smell sensitive and not crazy about the stink of propane heaters, but haven't noticed the stove being an issue. Only when the gas is about to run out - which actually gives you a heads up.
