You're just going back to the late 19th & early 20th century western American way of cooking. My house (1910) was built sans kitchen - they cooked in a room below the carriage house/garage and the servants brought the food into the galley and butler pantry. There was a foot-actuated button in the dining room floor that rang a bell to summon the servant when the diners wanted something brought in. When I moved into the house in 1999 it still didn't have a kitchen. The oven was in the basement and the refrigerator was on the back porch. The galley just had a small sink in it.

edited to add: No one ever comes when I push the floor button.

WOW! I would love to seen your house before it had a kitchen.

Maybe you should check the wiring.

Beth and all the other Okies. Here we just set the food outside and come back in an hour or 2.

LOL! I had considered solar ovens at one time but I couldn't keep the stray animals out of it.

Good Morning to all my Okie BYC Friends. I've got a question and I bet one of you has an answer. My two hovabators are set up on my enclosed porch
the temp has been running about 80 degrees down there is that ok or should I move them into the airconditioned part of the house?

Everything old is new again?

I would gladly do the cooking if my "servants" would come clean when I push the button!

My favorite way to cook a whole chicken is "beer butt" I make a dry rub of what ever strikes my fancy, rub on top of the skin and below the skin, use the extra skin and a few tooth picks to cover the neck hole and set the hollow butt over a can of beer and bake until done, even the breast is juicy from the steam in the hollow and the skin (Gary eats not me) is seasoned and crispy like bacon. (also works w/ diet dew as I always have some of that in the house and almost never have beer)

Works with Coke & Dr. Pepper too.

As long as the temperature of the room where the Hovabator is located is below your 99.5 temp inside the Hovabator, the wafer thermostat should cause it to cycle on and off at the right temperature.

If you had it in a location where the temperature outside the Hovabator was higher than the temperature you want inside the Hovabator, that might cause a problem since there isn't any mechanism to keep the inside temperature below the outside temperature.

Just my thoughts
