Charlton & Jenrick Bakechef wood burning cooking stove - baking sourdough bread at Natural Heating

We now have the Charlton & Jenrick Bakechef wood fired cooking stove on live display at Natural Heating in Attleborough / Norfolk

I’ve been having fun putting it through it’s paces baking sourdough bread this week in the shop !

The loaf didn’t last long and half of it ended up going home with some very lucky customers on Monday evening !

This stove is pretty special. It has a large flip up lid and cooking plate with removable hot plate centre on top… a mid section cooking rail for cooking in the firebox plus a large oven with four tray heights and capable of taking two racks at a time with full size baking trays in the lower oven.

So far, I’ve done roast chicken (160-180deg constant temperature) and baked potatoes ( 200deg c) plus sourdough bread (220-240deg c).

The oven is pretty easy to balance once you get the hang of it. This bread could have done with just 5 mins less on the crust - but to be fair, the phones kept ringing and shop was full of customers so I couldn’t get it out the oven when I wanted too !

Next test has got to be scones or a sponge cake. I do love a nice scone …

This is fantastic ...I wonder if there's a way of doing this on top of a wood burning stove in a dutch oven with legs ?
