I don't do any hearth cooking but I could. My home, which is well over 200 years old (earliest documentation we can find is a purchase and sales agreement dated 1813), has a beehive oven as well as a hearth crane with a cast iron cauldron. The entire chimney was rebuilt in the mid eighties and at the time a woodstove flue opening was included. I have cooked on the woodstove with cast iron skillets and a Dutch oven.

Thanks Sourdough for starting this thread. I must admit since reading it, I have gone down the rabbit hole and spent way more time than I expected reading about hearth cooking. One of the most interesting resources I found was a website with over 1,000 historic cookbooks (Historic Cookbooks on line).

I have exactly this kind of fire place set up. I have a gas insert right now in it.
