Hello! I used to own a Harman TL300 wood stove, which offered a grill accessory that sat down in the top loading door and allowed me to cook meats and make small pizzas, etc. I even smoked chicken in it regularly.

It’s time for me to get a new stove, smaller, for only 1100 ft.², and cooking is something I really want to continue. I am wondering if there are other manufacturers than Harman that offer this.

I am in Pennsylvania and am hoping to buy used, but could go new.

Thanks!
 
This feature is also an option on the Jotul F50, but that is not a small stove.
 
I've done some cooking in my woodstove as well (not on top of it) I bought a cheap lodge pole cast frying pan and raked / leveled coals out and simply tossed the pan in, works great, I've also laid some 1/2 steaks directly on coals, it did work, but it was primitive and the ash will drip off the steaks but I didn't really enjoy it was much.
