Winter Time Cookin'

Bear's basics on Roasting Root Veggies on the wood burning stove basics:
  • Get the fire going, it can take up to an hour to get the stove hot enough to cook on.
  • Get your oven rig in place, trivets on stove and cover big enough for the dish you are cooking. Put them on the stove to heat up, same idea as preheating an oven.
  • Prep the food (1/4 inch dice the roots, the smaller the food the faster it cooks)
  • Put the food in the oven rig.
  • Crank up the FIRE ( Flame heats the top of the stove better than hot coals)
  •  Give it about an hour then check and stir the veggies. After that check and stir around every 1/2 hr until done (roots are soft) 
  • All rigs will cook differently. Best advice is to use yours often, keep good notes on what you cook and when you add wood.
