oven for top of wood stove

[steff bugielski]

Alright I am certain some of you have this. Where do I get one, who makes one.
I have a flat top wood stove. No eyeballs. I want to place a box on top to use as an oven.
Help me find one please.

I have one it's a Coleman that I ordered through Wally World for a in store pick up (used a gift card otherwise I wouldn't patronize that store but that's a thread of a different topic) for under $40 a year or two ago.

Kmart has been having sales on camping gear so you might check their website along with a few other's like Gander Mountain or even craig's list.

Every time our wood stove is lit I cook on it. Last night it was down to low 40's and I had 3 loads of laundry to dry so we fired teh Jotul up with buggy wood & scraps. Grilled up pork marinated in our home pressed cider on my ribbed lodge cast iron pan. Sides were gleaned acorn squash mashed, brown rice, broccoli, and home canned applesauce.

Here's a blog post on my oven - http://thirtyfivebyninety.blogspot.c...-top-oven.html

ETA: if you were in a DIY mode you could make one from sheet metal and large toaster oven racks. I use to have a link to a blog were the writer used an old toaster oven (cord removed) by just setting it on her stove but I'd be worried about the plastic handles/legs.

If your going to do some serious cooking, like was said try Lehmans. Theyve got a big one, Come to think on it, Theyve got a BIG canner that u might could use a an oven AND canner. BUT THERE HIGH. As was said. Go to a welding shop and ask them who works with tin. Haveing one made is a whole lot cheaper, And if youve got some preferences as to handles to take it off the stove, door handle, shelf highths, ect, You can have them make it to your preferences. Dont know how youd work a thermomrnter tho.

You are going to need a real hot fire to bake in one of those woodstove top ovens (read the reviews at Lehmans).

My suggestion is to bake inside of your woodstove using a dutch oven. This method works quite well if you allow the fire to burn down a bed of coals. With this method, there is no need to pile coals on top of the Dutch oven like you would if baking with one outdoors.

Check second hand stores for a large dutch oven. I bake on top of my woodstove in the dutch oven all the time. Only one layer cake at a time but it works, pies, casseroles, bread, whathaveyou. I have one big enough to fit most pie and cake pans, I put a few same sized pebbles in the bottom to keep the baked goods off direct heat.
Most things take a bit longer to bake but I find the slow baking makes a better product.

Right now I have 16 pints tomatoes waterbathing on the woodstove, a box of pears is next.

Seems the ones at Lehmans need a flame under like a cook stove would have eyeballs to remove. My stove does not.
I found my mom's old turkey cooker. It is a large baking pan with an extension to make it taller. I used the extension only. I felt I needed an open bottom to capture as much heat as possible. Placed a cast iron stove grate under the pan.
The top of the stove was bout 300 degrees. I made a batch of brownies in about the same time as I would in my oven.
I then tried to cook some sausages but they did not cook fast enough but I think I am on the right track.
