When it is winter outside, and it is snowing so hard I don’t see the fjord a few meters below my condo.
It is really nice to get my wood stove going. The smell of burning birch wood fills my apartment.
I’m brewing some coffee, before I find my trusty old iron pan.

Eggs and bacon is always good on a snowy winter day.

I would kill to have a woodstove. Looks great Otto. Let me know when breakfast is ready.

While on the subject of wood fire and food. I was dropping my girls off at their school the other day, when I was hit by a smell that took me back to my childhood on a station in outback Queensland. We lived pretty rough out there by todays standards, but it was all we knew. My grandmother would cook on a wood burning stove for family and stockmen alike. When I was at the school I could have sworn I could smell the scent of wood smoke, billy tea and Johnny cakes. It took me back to a particular memory of morning tea on the station.
Perhaps my grandmother was just saying hello from heaven, because I don't know of anyone that would have had a wood burning stove or a cook fire going in the area of the school on that hot, steamy old day.

Every thing tastes better cooked on an old stove as far as I'm concerned.

Ditto mate.

The woodburning cook stove is a smell I will never forget,I can smell it today after 60 yrs.Growing up in a poor Uke Hood in San francisico (russian Hill)
Thats the type of stove everyone used.
Woodsmoke permiated the air,not just the smoke from the cook stoves but also the Banyas.
Was the best of times

Now all we need is an old school samovar fired up and we're in business.
