Chicken on the Quad

[Jclout]

Brothers and sisters I have successfully cooked a chicken on the wood stove in an oven I made to the specs of 'The Country Journal Woodburners Cookbook'. The wife loved it. I recommend the book to one and all. Of course I had to buy myself an extra temp probe, I love those things and the temp gauges too!

And why are we waiting expectantly for a pic of that oven?

Ok, I'm tired of waiting for a pic, I bet it looked like this but with extra guages and a temp probe.

[BrotherBart]

Wow, good job on the chicken! How long did it take to cook it through? Can't wait to see the pics of the oven you built... and I can't wait until it's cold enough here to have a fire hot enough and long enough to start cooking experiments!

Just wait until you spend the whole night smelling boiled over stew. :shut: Put something on that cooking surface that lifts off! Like foil.

Mmmmm...chicken. Did you put a can of beer up it's arse ? That's the best, i.m.h.o., though I am always sad for the beer. :-(

 

[Elfin]

Ack! yes, a good tip there

Just another reason why I keep one fireplace as a fireplace - for cooking over the fire during the winter!

There is a blogger who undertook a "hobo challenge" and cooked all the family's meals on their wood stove. Here's a link to her photos on Flickr. (broken link removed to http://www.flickr.com/photos/81951381@N00/2060487810/)

It should have taken 1 1 to 1 1 hours @325-350deg. but it took longer cause even though the surface temp of the stove was 550 or so I couldnt get the oven up to temp. You are supposed to chart three different gauges, one on the stove top, one on the stove pipe and one in the oven but I kind of skipped rite over that and used a new poulder temp probe to measure the oven and the chicken temps, thats how I knew when it was done. The photos of the hobo challenge are pretty cool, it looks as if her stove has a built in oven rite on top- very practical and handy. Mine is made whith an old turkey roaster oven, a temp guage on top, a jar lid over some holes for adjusting inside temps and grate inside on some tuna cans-it works.

I would like to see pictures of this oven. If it looks doable, I might have to buy the book.

I am going to try and get some pictures on this weekend. The oven is definately doable. I do recommend the book.
