Am going to look into the haybox idea, sounds good.
I had a wood burning Rayburn for cooking and central heating, was very happy to see the back of it and get oil cooker...eek:
On a daily basis, wood is quite alot of work, dusty cleaning out, carrying it etc. It needs sawing up, or chainsawing up so uses petrol. And quite large quantities to keep a cooker/central heating going for extended periods...
Often, because of quantities needed, the wood was not sufficiently seasoned and sometimes damp, and the fire was hard to keep going if not around.
So am very sad about oil prices, will have to wear overcoat I think
