we have a collection of wood stoves no big old kitchen one,yet!
When I was in Jr. High, I spent the night at a house that had a wood stove for cooking. I baked Brownies in it--Scratch recipe. I took cooking in 4-H of course.

The brownies were very tasty.
 
I'd love a wood cookstove but no room in my tiny house. I have cooked on my wood stove during power outages. I think this winter when it's cold enough for a constant fire, I'll make soup regularly on it.
 
if I ever do get a big old kitchen stove its going to go in living room, only chimney access. darn kitchen not bid enough for one
 
The house I grew up in was over 100 years old and had three woodstoves.. 2 of the Franklin stoves (one in the kitchen and one in the front room) and a pot belly stove.. it was my job to sleep on the front room floor and keep the Franklin stove in there going all night.. then I had to get the one in the kitchen started before my mom got up so she would be able to fix breakfast.. the pot belly stove was in the room where my sisters slept.. so if it died in the middle of the night they would wake up to a cold room.. There were heat registers in the ceiling to carry heat to the upstairs bedrooms.. I started on "wood stove" duty when I was 3 years old.. lol.. yeah.. got I an early start with my wood heating education!

After moving out on my own every place where i lived had a wood stove of some sort.. When I was finally able to buy my first home it only had a woodstove for heat.. that was in Delaware and the place had no insulation.. so stocking the woodstove before bed and checking on it in the middle of the night was something I had to do unless I wanted frozen water pipes.. lived there for 13 years and through several power outages and snow storms..

Now the home I have has a woodstove that we use during the coldest months.. lol..luckily here in Texas those are far and few between... but during my lifetime I have had a wood stove of some sort for at least 50 years of my life.. I don't think I would want to live some place without one! Many of my grandmothers and great grandmothers recipes call for cooking on a woodstove and give the directions for everything from baking cakes and breads to roasts..
 
oh I would love to have that much passed down info!! I found only two handwritten home books from my great grandmothers covers everything from baking to bed bugs, aught to did out n look for chicken info! ohh gotta go!!
