hello,
When I bought my new woodstove (BK Ashford 30, chestnut gloss enamel), I understood that I would be able to cook on it -- or at least boil water, warm food.
Once it was installed, I was cautioned *never* to cook on it, or place anything on the enamel stove top. I was very disappointed.
Then someone mentioned a solution -- a "gasket" of some kind to diffuse the heat so that it would not mar the enamel.
I've been unable to source such a gasket or find corroboration for this workaround.
Thanks for any insight,
GP
(I know that I can lift the whole enamelled top off and cook directly on the box but this means lifting a hot top and then finding where to put it!)
