DROLET | Tips and Tricks - How to Cook with the Chic-Choc Wood Cookstove?

Описание: Equipped with a spacious combustion chamber, a very large oven and a wide cooking surface, the Chic-Choc is ideal for reheating, cooking, and simmering your favorite dishes.

REMEMBER: the key to successful cooking lies in the balance between the wood load, the air supply and the burn time.

1. The quantity and size of the logs influence the heat produced for cooking. At equal weight, one large piece of wood will take longer to release its heat than several small pieces. Thus, to obtain a gradual cooking temperature over a longer period, for example for a stew, the use of large logs is ideal. Conversely, to obtain a rapid and intense cooking temperature, for example to preheat the appliance or searing meat, using several small logs will be more effective.

2. The air damper, located under the combustion chamber, allows for the adjustment of the intensity of the fire. The more the damper is open, the more intense the heat, allowing higher cooking temperatures to be reached in less time. This is ideal for boiling water or preheating the oven for baking bread. The more the damper is closed, the more the heat is constant, which makes it possible to maintain the cooking temperature over a long period. This is ideal for reheating prepared meals. An intense fire will consume wood fast, so it needs to be checked often to the keep temperatures even.
