Time for a Wood Stove Book

Bear here...

Theresa and I have noticed a lot of people visit our page on how we cook on our wood burning stove. We've been preparing to write a book about it for several years, and have lots of recipes and photos saved up, but now Theresa is finally having fun starting to design the book pages. We have 10 years of experience we want to share with others.

We plan to include cooking tips and pictures that include the good (like when my pit beef turned out to be very flavorful and juicy) and the ugly (like when my eggs ran off the edge of the gridle and scrambled onto the stove). It's funny now, but it wasn't funny when it was happening to me. 

We also plan to share other uses for the stove, like how to rest like a manly beast (below) and some actual useful information, some already included on our website and a lot of new stuff.

When the pandemic hit, we started working on a pantry book instead of the wood stove book, since our well stocked pantry allowed us to stay safe at home for 3 months before we finally went to a grocery store (when we wanted to buy grape jelly to feed the Baltimore orioles in our yard). We thought a pantry how to book would be helpful to those who don't know how to stock a pantry, with info on how to build one, how to cook from one, and what to include. Can you tell which pantry is about my priorities (hint- the one with alcohol) and which is hers (the one with the boring food)?

We couldn't decide which book to continue with, so I convinced Theresa that it made sense to combine them. So our book will be about how to stay warm while cooking on your wood stove with food from your well-stocked pantry.

​I wanted to say that we hope to have the book out in less than a year, but Theresa keeps reality checking me. She's the one putting the book together in the graphic design program, and she says she has no idea how long it will take. We'll do our best.

Thank you for sticking with us and our website.
