Hello. I am currently trying to learn the ways of an antique wood/coal burning cook stove. It is a Penn Esther and I have not been able to find any info on it as to its proper function. Through trial and error and a bit of experimentation I have cooked several meals on it and in the oven. The oven,however,only seems to heat up over 250 degrees if I burn wood. Even with the hottest of coal fires going the oven will maintain a constant heat but never enough to actually use the oven. I bake sourdough bread with a starter I made over 10 years ago and higher temps are required.
Any info you can share would be helpful.
