I've gotten so many good replies to my venison question that now I have another one for you ladies that cook on a woodstove. The one I'm using doesn't have a ceramic top or anything, it's just cast iron. I've been cooking on it and heating the house with it constantly. But here's my problem, How do I clean it, the surface, from oil and stuff like that? Should it be seasoned as a pan would be?
Any help would be much appreciated!
PS: I have another problem, but I already know the answer...I have so many burns on my arms from trying to wrestle hot pans and such. Scabs are a part of my daily life! The answer....
If It's hot enough to sear meat, it's hot enough to sear me

Cook on my cast-iron woodstove all winter long!
I use a porcelain-coated cast-iron dutch oven with a lid, got it at ALDI's.
I drop in a frozen chicken with a little water, salt & pepper or a frozen
beef/pork roast and let 'er rip! Cooks in about 4 hours, but I just let it go
and get more tender. I make ribs this way too, coating 'em with BBQ sauce an
hour before eating.
I use Orange Glo wood polish/cleaner to clean the outside of my stove, when it's
COOL of course! The oil seasons the iron, and smells like oranges when it heats up.
I LOVE it on the wood trim in my house, and furniture, makes it shine like new!
Truly "all-purpose"! I clean the stove with a wet microfiber cloth, then use the
Orange Glo after that. Works great! :)

When I had a wood stove, I used to just wipe it off. Actually, if anything dribbled on to the surface, it would pretty much burn it off while you were cooking. For stubborn spots, I used a dish scrubber. When cool, I would wipe it well with newsprint (newspaper). It has a natural polish in it. It is great on windows, too! Have fun. Nothing tastes better than homemade biscuits from the wood stove. God bless you.
