Reminds me that its been a little too long since my last boiled dinner. I'll have to pick up some cabbage on the way home.
Anyone cook INSIDE their wood stove?

Only a couple weeks until my favorite saints day. 1/2 the country will be eating their one boiled dinner of the year.

Beware the gassy after effects!! Both of us were surprized at the fermentation rate of cabbage! LOL

I've only attempted it once but I imagine it can be anything. By the time its down to coals there is nothing but heat left. Smoking meat or grilling over an open fire is bad with certain types of wood as the smoke can really mess with the flavoring. When you are down to coals its probably all the same, especially when its wrapped in foil or in a pan.

Well that is cheating.....I thought we were only talking about woodstoves. We have a stone firepit that I built last year, and an expanded metal grate that I welded up to fit over it. We cook over it so much in the summer and fall that we don't use our gas grill any more.

Whatever was in the last load. Could be cherry, oak, hickory, birch, maple, etc, etc.. have never noticed it mattered.
The only one I won't use is poplar... seems a bit stinky, wouldn't like that smell as a flavor.

Basswood is really stinky as well. I was curious as I like to smoke meat and have always heard to stay away from using elm or wood that wasn't from a tree that bore fruit or nuts.

Never paid attention to the wood ... when it gets to the coal stage I've never noticed any smell coming off the coals unless I burn myself ... then it's just the smell of burnt hair.

Yet another culinary use for the stove. Habeneros were on sale. NO WAY I could eat them all before they go bad so I dehydrate them over the stove for a couple days, grind them up and use them in rubs or straight up.
