If you can do a label search on this blog, you'll be able to see about 20 posts that discuss canning on a wood cookstove. It is very rewarding and cost effective (just really hot if you have to do it in the house during the summer months).Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928066388810835369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-12373935276119346252022-01-23T16:37:45.657-08:002022-01-23T16:37:45.657-08:00Thank you so much for responding!

So I sure didn't want to give it up. <br /><br />Have you ever done any canning on your wood stove? That is my other question. If I only had a wood stove, how hard would it be to do water bath and pressure canning?

I take the rack off its holders in the middle of the oven and lay it on the floor of the oven so there is a little air space between the bottom of the oven and the roaster.<br /><br />When you use wall protection, you need to have 18 inches between the back of the stove and the protected wall. However, the back of your stove may be equipped with a heat shield if it is a newer one. In that event, you need to consult the operator's instructions to find out what the manufacturer has certified as the minimum.<br /><br />Best wishes!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928066388810835369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-26360657962727112372022-01-15T21:25:47.008-08:002022-01-15T21:25:47.008-08:00Can you put the turkey on the bottom of the oven i...Can you put the turkey on the bottom of the oven instead of on a rack? I can't imagine it fitting any other way. <br /><br />When you use wall protection, how much clearance do you have to provide in the back?

Thanksgiving dinner was at my parents' house this year, and so I hadn't been on the computer today.<br /><br />Anyway, basically, the amount of time that a turkey takes to cook in a wood cookstove is the same as the amount of time that it takes in a modern stove as long as you are maintaining the same oven temperature.<br /><br />We follow the directions on the Reynolds roasting bags, and roast at 325º for however long they say to for the size turkey that we have.<br /><br />I hope your turkey was good and that things went well for you! <br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928066388810835369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-68336711943606943222018-11-22T08:11:24.435-08:002018-11-22T08:11:24.435-08:00About how long did it take?About how long did it take?Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05381592310861176916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-42550497663784569562012-11-20T07:44:19.720-08:002012-11-20T07:44:19.720-08:00Looks like a yummy and cozy Thanksgiving!Looks like a yummy and cozy Thanksgiving!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12697024814860693391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-13459132665858492872012-11-19T16:40:45.892-08:002012-11-19T16:40:45.892-08:00Hi, Jim.
