Recommendations please for equipment and recipes for cooking on wood burner

[Welsh cleaning services]

Hoping to utilize the wood burner this winter to cook on and save on the utility bills! 
Anybody recommend a good small kettle and cookware,plus favorite recipes and methods.

Also wondering weather to protect stove top with some kind of trivet?

Does it get hot enough? Our wood burner can heat the whole house but due to there being an air duct below the top I would struggle to boil a kettle on it.

Bake o glide is handy for cooking toast and doing toasties!

Pie irons are very good for toasties, heating pies or whatever else you can think of.

 

Or a cast iron potato baker, you can put whatever you like in it and use it like a Dutch oven.

Big pot of whatever on top. I have an aluminium saucepan that accommodates a sixteen pound turkey.

I have a camping kettle from mountain warehouse that I heat water with..used mostly for washing up not the cooking , and for filling flasks etc ....if your woodburner is in your lounge would you really want to cook on it ??  smells , mess etc ...

Rather than a trivet, I put a griddle on top of mine to protect the top. I can then use the whistling kettle/stove top coffee pot etc and not worry about it marking the top. I'm not planning on using the stove for cooking. But if the power goes out (storm/power cut) then it's always an option.

Our wood burner is in our lounge and we often cook on it and boil water etc. For the kettles we just use ones we've collected over the years, stainless steel and with a flat bottom that sits directly on the top of the stove. We use our normal saucepans which are stainless steel and have a flat bottom. I've have often used a deep baking tray, covered in foil, to roast potatoes and other vegetables, works well for us.

 

Our stove is fairly old so don't worry about the top but it can get a little dirty from oil splashes etc so if you've got a posh stove in a smart lounge it may not be for you. In an ideal world we'd have a range in the kitchen but we don't.
