I have an iron, solid iron, with a wood handle on top, both ends of iron are curved. Thank goodness that is not my only iron.
I also have a Elmira wood burning stove in my kitchen, right along with my electric stove & microwave.
In my younger days I heated the house, as well as cooked with wood, loved it.
I liked going out early in the morning to milk my cow, gather fresh eggs. When I came in, an egg went into a small cast-iron skillet with fresh cow butter. Ummm!
I also milked goats for making yogurt, good stuff.
