There are a variety of wood burning stove cooking accessories that can be used to enhance your cooking experience on a wood stove. Here are some of the most popular:
- Cast iron cookware: Cast iron is a great choice for cooking on a wood stove because it retains heat well and can withstand high temperatures. A cast iron skillet, Dutch oven, or griddle can be used to cook everything from bacon and eggs to stews and casseroles.
- Kettles and tea pots: A kettle or tea pot can be placed directly on the wood stove to heat water for tea, coffee, or hot cocoa.
- Trivets: A trivet is a heat-resistant mat that can be used to protect your wood stove’s surface from hot pots and pans.
- Heat diffusers: A heat diffuser can be placed on top of the wood stove to distribute heat more evenly and prevent hot spots.
- Roasting rack: A roasting rack can be placed inside a Dutch oven or on top of a cast iron skillet to elevate food for more even cooking.
- Oven thermometer: An oven thermometer can be used to ensure that your wood stove is at the right temperature for baking and roasting.
- Ash scoop and brush: A scoop and brush can be used to clean out the ashes from your wood stove before and after cooking.
- Fireplace gloves: Fireplace gloves are designed to protect your hands from the heat of the wood stove and can be especially useful when adjusting cookware or moving hot pots and pans.
These accessories can make wood stove cooking easier and more enjoyable, and there are many other options available depending on your specific needs and preferences.
