This actually should go in BB's yearly "You know you're a woodburner when..." thread. Anyway the power goes out yesterday and l nearly jumped out of my skin in excitement. This was the moment for which I had been waiting. I pulled the surround off of the Rockland and got her going pretty good. I figured out that I could fit the cast iron dutch oven on top of the insert, substituting foil as a lid to make the clearance with the hearth. Made an awesome pot roast. The Rockland without blower kept the downstairs at about 73*, running it pretty hard. Much to my dismay, the power was only out for two hours, however I continued the radiant heat and stove top cooking experiment all day.
The kind of fun that only psychos like you folks would understand.
