This was posted in a private FB group I'm in and since I don't think all of you could get to it via Link, I asked and received permission to copy image and information for you.
In the cool weather, we cook in the house (obviously) and welcome the heat from the stove. But we cannot use the woodstove from late April to early October or we will be sleeping in an oven. So we cook outside during the warm weather. Even if you have AC (we don't), it does not make sense to have the AC fight the heat from your stove/oven.
This piece of equipment is a stainless steel, wood-fired, oven/cooktop/grill. It takes very little wood to cook a meal. We seem to run it all day: Breakfast, then a stockpot of hot water, then to pasteurize milk, then lunch, then baking... With this and a cheap propane camp stove, or kerosene stove (we have both) you can cook a Thanksgiving-sized meal without electricity or make the house unbearably hot. But most of the time we DO NOT use the propane or kerosene stoves (except when we want coffee quickly, but not when it is blazing hot). With this, our propane and kerosene expense for cooking is inconsequential. And we never need charcoal.

He is Amish and does not have a phone or email. But he does ship and he is very reliable. Include a copy of the photo above.

I think we paid $750. About the same as a stainless steel propane grill at Home Depot.

Well, I imagine you could warp it if you tried... but you would have to be trying. An appropriate fire in that box to cook a meal will have no effect on it, and we have over fired it a couple of times with no damage. But I would not make a habit of it, nor would I put this thing inside. It is MADE for outdoor cooking.

That's the main information in the conversation about this. I just bet some of you could make one of your own, or with the above address contact them about one if you needed it.
