Yes. Cooking with wood takes some practice and knowing different woods is one of the things you need to know. Those who have cooked with wood already know that pine can be mighty fine in a cook stove and that is because it gives high heat for a short period of time. We also used to use corn cobs and all the small stuff from cutting up a tree went to the wood cook stove. In the end, using a wood cook stove and putting up the fuel can be a lot of work compared to a heater stove.
I recall a lady in the neighborhood who, on her 50th wedding anniversary was given a new gas cook stove. She had never used anything except her wood cook stove. She almost cried after just a few days because she wanted her old stove back. But in the end, she did learn how to cook on the gas stove which saved much labor. As you might guess, they were not young folks.
