Old meets new

QuickImage Category Life in Cape Breton
One of my favorite endeavors is using the little Jotul wood cookstove in our winterized screen room to cook meals. While the screen room is detached from the main house, I have a wireless squeezebox hooked up to an old receiver so I can listen to music, watch the snow fall and read while the stove keeps the room quite warm. We just finished winterizing it for the first time this fall and we have spent a great deal of time out there and had made some pretty good meals. Since we won't be at the Flying Fish tonight in Orlando, I decided to make a small prime rib. A little technology helps get it right in the form of a digital meat thermometer. Just plug in the probe, set the alarm for the right temperature and voila - a perfect roast

Gravatar Image1 - I found the same model stove in an old junk shop about ten years ago and installed it in our kitchen. While it keeps the room warm and cooking can be done on the hobs, I have not managed to get the oven hot enough to do anything other than keep plates warm. Maybe I'm missing something?
