Another baking option/woodstoves

If the only reason you are wanting a woodstove is to bake during and
emergency there is another option. If you have a Lehman's catalog look at
the end of the woodcookstoves and you will find ovens that sit on top of any
woodcookstove or propane burners. (I've heard people have even used them
outdoors over a fire pit but haven't done it myself.) I have one and have
cooked in it. When we first moved in our non-electric Amish house some
folks from our new church found out I was cooking on a Coleman camp stove
because we couldn't afford a stove due to the costs of getting into the
house. They had an older propane cookstove and showed up with it one day as
a gift. Though we were thankful for their gift (they even stayed to hook it
up) we soon discovered that it had an electronic ignition and I couldn't
bake with it. I did have burners though! We used the oven on top of the
burners and I baked bread, etc. The large oven will hold 4 loaves of bread.
The smaller oven will only hold a pie or one loaf of bread. You can find
the small Coleman in many camping stores and I've seen them as low as $5
used at a garage sale. Many antique stores sell them too but they usually
are not collapsible they just look like a box.

The one I have came from Topeka Seed and Stove and it works great. They
also have the best price on one. It was $100 when I got mine. Don't trust
the temp on the temp guage. Buy one of the guages at Walmart that hangs
inside the oven. This is also a recommendation for any woodcookstove, even
a new Pioneer Maid. Unfortunately even the dealers will tell you the guages
can be useless. It has something to do with the steel doors. To be
safe...put the guage inside the stove. Blessings...Deanna
