Well, wifey just made a nice vegetable soup and I just put it in the fire. This is "hopefully" going to be our meal tonight, there is a dutch oven in there. We'll see how it goes.

Nice. Let us know how it comes out. I have made bread and pizza in my stove. Great smokey taste.
 
Oh, yeah, that's right: I'll be able to try bread, pizza and whatever in my Englander, with its big firebox. My pizza stone will fit with 5" to spare.

This just keeps gettin' better and better!

It came out awesome and didn't even have any meat in it. I am usually not a fan of vegetarian meals, lol. I was a little nervous putting the cast iron right on the coals but everything went great. The wife added cold water to it as soon as it came out, but I yelled, "no" prior to her getting enough in to break dutch oven. I plan on using this baby to cook with often and want to learn. This fireplace is an addiction. I just want to sit in front of it, work on it and am almost not looking forward to the whole project being finished off. To make myself clear, I said almost.
 
Id like to see a pic of the soup in fireplace burning.

For kicks when the wife wasnt home, I used to skewer chunks of steak and stick em in my 3.4 when it was down to a bed of coals and roast em over the fire. Just something built into us when it comes to cookin over a wood fire, I think. Nothing beats it.
 
Tonight we are going to fry some shrimp and french fries. I can't wait and will post a pic Franks.
 
You're having too much fun. Maybe you need a wood cook stove?
 
I've had this fireplace for 1.5 weeks now and may need an intervention. I'm an addict, the best part is the addiction saves $$$ and the family loves it too. BeGreen, what would you think about a thread on cooking that stays at the top of the board? The pizza thread has gotten a lot of interest and I'm guessing a lot of members don't really get into cooking w/ their wood burners. The perma thread (my name) may get people to save $$ and have more fun.
 
We are always letting the Montpiler burn down to a nice bed of coals and roasting hot dogs. Some where on the site is a pic of the 602 doing chilli for super bowl. MMMMM cooking on the wood stove. ;-)

If you want a cooking section or sticky you'll have to put it in the suggestions forum. We are but humble ascii sweepers here.
 
Well I forgot pics, but the shrimp & fries were great. The Z42 cooks marshmallows FAST & was too hot for the kids to roast them.

Wood stove cooking certainly brings out the neanderthal in me, just a tad difficult getting mammouth steak in though...........
