In the past, wood burning ovens were quite popular as a primary source of preparing cooked or baked foods. The concept was quite simple. Wood was placed in the box of the stove and a fire was started. Food was heated or baked using the heat from the burning wood. Few, if any, depend on these ovens today as the home’s actual cooking device. However, in many cases, wood burning ovens are still quite popular.

Of course, any avid antique shopper would be delighted to stumble across a wood burning stove in excellent condition. Others would enjoy the opportunity to restore a century-old find like the wood burning stove. Elderly people can often share memories of wonderful recipes that just don’t taste the same as they did when they were prepared on a wood burning stove. Both children and adults are always mesmerized by wood burning stoves in museums and old homesteads. Sometimes, because of the many differences in the wood burning oven of yesteryear and today’s modern ovens, visitors don’t even know what the appliance is. Demonstrations of how the wood burning oven was used will often draw a crowd of curious onlookers. Usually, visitors will comment on the vast amount of work required when using the wood burning oven to prepare a meal.

More currently, modern replicas of wood burning stoves are found in specialty shops, magazines, and online that appeal to owners of certain style homes, such as rustic log cabins or old farm houses. These replicas are often brightly colored and serve as the highlight, or focal point, of a kitchen or room. Some are used for cooking, but the face of the appliance is often where the replica ends. The inside and functionality often surpass that of a traditional oven. Also available are replicas, which look like a wood burning oven, but function as a heating device. This is also appealing to homeowners with a certain motif in mind.

Wood burning stoves are one of the many things that never go out of style. Whether admiring an antique version or upgrading your home with a replica, the interesting and historical appliance is a great find.

How To Operate A Wood Burning Oven?

Wood burning ovens are some of the oldest forms of cooking appliances in the world. Before electricity, before the discovery of America, people around the world were using wood burning ovens to prepare their food. This simplistic yet beautiful form of cooking technology is finally beginning to make a comeback among chefs and home-cooking enthusiasts alike. While they are sometimes a rather large investments, wood burning ovens are easy to care for, cheap to operate and a joy to use. Wood burning ovens can be made of a wide variety of different materials. The two most popular materials used in the building of wood burning ovens are clay and brick. While people on both sides of the fence will tell you that their preferred oven (clay or brick) is better than the competition, both materials are capable of building extremely efficient and high quality wood burning ovens. Deciding between the two is usually left to personal preference. When using a wood burning oven, you can cook just about anything that you would cook in a normal oven. The principles are the same, except for the fact that the burning wood will lend a smokey charred flavor to whatever you decide to cook. To start, build yourself a fire in the middle of the oven and get it going. Most wood burning ovens have a small pit for the fire in the center with two elevated shelves on either side. These shelves are where you will put the food that you are intending to cook. Wood fires burn very hot, and are usually much hotter than the heat of a normal oven. Be sure that when you put your food in the oven you take good care to keep an eye on it to prevent burning or drying out. Putting food in the oven is as simple as placing it on a long wooden board (a peel) and moving the food to the shelf in the oven. To check on the food, drag the peel under the food and whisk it out of the oven. Be sure to use caution and safety when working near/putting out the wood fire.
