The stove used for heating the house not a kitchen stove. Currently I have a big baking chicken cooking there. Plan to use it for chicken noodle stove with fresh noodles that Jim will make. A couple of days ago Jim cooked up some sort of concoction with beef, potatoes, carrots onions and chick peas. It was very good. Anyone else try this. Makes the house smell oh so good.JoAnn

We've boiled a little this and that - often we just keep a pot of water on the stove to add humidity to the dry air. I think I'll experiment more this winter. Thanks for "lighting a match" under me, JoAnn!
Mimi, We usually use a cast iron pot but have used a heavy regular pots. Our stove has two levels so if it gets too hot we put it on the higher level. You could also use some kind of iron/metal trivet thing I suppose. Actually the more I think about it any pan you might use over a campfire would do. JoAnn

We use cast iron & also the enamel coated pots. Like JoAnn suggested, we also use a makeshift trivet or rack to keep things warm when we don't want them boiling hot. The woodstove came in really handy on Thanksgiving - kept stuff warm while the oven was in use!
Believe it or not it has taken me this long to start getting some cast iron cookware together to use in my kitchen. I really like using it. I think when we fire up the woodstove this fall I will try cooking on it. I have heated a few things up on it all the while stirring and keeping my eye on it. Wouldn't want to burn up my pans as the woodstove really heats up!
We have the dutch oven with legs but never tried it. I suppose it could work, might take a little longer to get hot. Sometimes I have to raise the reg. dutch oven to the higher level if it's getting to hot. JoAnn
