I'm so grateful, if they do share, because it's the only way I could afford handmade pottery.

We cook on top of the stove all the time, but don't have room to cook inside it yet.

As a potter myself, I often give my older items to the thrift store in town when I change my style, or if it was part of a line and there is only the odd piece left. It's still perfectly good, but too difficult to work into a display when new lines are created. It's possible you have someone doing the same in your area.

I am actually pretty nervous about using the woodstove as our primary source of heating and cooking next winter, so I have been practicing in our current home. We are taking our woodstove when we move, and it's pretty small, so I'm thinking baking will be easier on less-cold days when I can move the fire to the side and fit the pot on the other side. For super-cold days I could probably find a way to bake on the stovetop. Thanks for the idea and additional help.fivechappelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07849654400431821439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167809184876303004.post-83514678437758062412015-03-08T10:29:41.666-05:002015-03-08T10:29:41.666-05:00We actually go about three times a week to pick up...We actually go about three times a week to pick up left over greens, fruits and veggies for the chickens. It's a small, locally owned thrift shop {not Goodwill- or Badwill as we call it in our house} and always has some really great finds. I'm amazed at the amount of handmade pottery people throw away!

I...I'd never heard of the brand before either. I googled their name and the website is full of great information about use and cooking. It says not to use on a stove top or over an open flame, which I figured. Instead, it's for using on a bed of hot coals. I'm really excited to try bread inside the wood stove. It's supposed to be amazing!The Sitting Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04951290466517626848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167809184876303004.post-77111437229289830472015-03-08T10:18:56.443-05:002015-03-08T10:18:56.443-05:00That's what I'm hoping to use it for, too!...That's what I'm hoping to use it for, too!

The thrift stores near me never really have much of anything worth investing even a few dollars in...mostly cheap plastic items.

Do you know where I could find resources on doing that? I have been slow cooking and slow baking on top of the wood stove, and never do more than simple roasting in the ashes, so that would open up so many more possibilities.
