Wood Stove Recipes
A day of ice fishing at Petrie Island can be a cold experience for some, and a good hot meal on the ice can really warm you up!
We don't have the facilities, equipment or the time to cook a gourmet meal on the ice, but cooking on a wood stove is not really cooking, it is more like reheating previously prepared food. Almost anything can be reheated on the top of your wood stove as long as it has been prepared properly in advance.
Below are a few sample recipes of what some of us were eating on the ice last season.

Wood Stove Fruit Cobbler
Can be made right there in your hut!
Submitted by M. Foster of Ottawa, Ontario
2 28-oz. cans of sliced peaches with juice
1 cup of crushed pineapple with juice
1/2 cup of instant tapioca.
1 yellow or white cake mix.
1 cup brown sugar
8 tablespoons of butter, thinly sliced
ice cream or whipped cream
The fire in your woodstove can not be roaring! Make sure that there are just hot coals. Use a 12" foil-lined camp Dutch Oven.
Use a disposible 12" foil tray or foil a 12" camp dutch oven. Mix and place into foil-lined oven: sliced peaches, pineapple and tapioca. Sprinkle over with yellow or white cake mix. Top cake mix with brown sugar and butter. Do not stir.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes on an rack or a couple of bricks in your oven. Then remove foil cover and continue cooking for 5-10 minutes until fruit is bubbling and crust is golden. Serve hot straight from Dutch oven or garnish with ice cream or whipped cream.

Firecracker Chili
A great recipe that everyone will love.
Submitted by Ron Zinn of Brossard, Quebec
2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 pounds onions, chopped
2 green bell peppers, seeded and chopped
2 (14.5-ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
3 cups seeded and chopped tomatoes
4 dried whole red chili peppers, crushed
2 bay leaves
3 whole cloves
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon crushed dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
 Preheat oven to 300°F.
In a large oven-safe pan, brown ground beef in vegetable oil over medium-high heat until brown. Add onion and green bell pepper and sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in canned tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, chili peppers, bay leaves, cloves, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper and paprika; mix well. Cover and bake for one hour.
Seperate into disposible foil serving dishes and wrap tightly with foil. Refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze portions until ready to use.
Re-heat portions on top of your wood stove for at least 30 minutes depending on the heat. Stir often to avoid burning. Serve with a baguette or crusty bread.

Hot Puppies
These are great and easy to prepare.
12 hot dog weiners or sausages
12 hot dog rolls or sausage buns
2 green bell peppers, seeded and sliced
2 onions, sliced
3 tablespoons of butter
salt and pepper
Melt butter in medium frying pan. Add onion, green pepper, salt and pepper and sauté until tender, about 4 or 5 minutes.
Boil weiners for 5 minutes. If using sausages, fry them in a medium frying pan on low heat for 30 minutes.
Butter both sides of the hot dog rolls or sausage buns and dress with the hot dog (or sausage)and pepper/onion mixture. Wrap each one loosly with aluminum foil.
When you're hungry on the ice, just drop them on top of your wood stove to cook. Check them often because if your stove is hot, this will not take long. When one side of the bun is cooked, turn over and cook the other.
You'll be surprised at how good these are.

Corn Chip Crappie
Submitted by Don Theoret of Orleans, Ontario.
(1) stack of crappie fillets (most any white-flesh fish will be fine)
(2) many handfuls of your favourite flavour of Doritos tortilla chips
(3) 2 eggs whisked into a batter
(4) splash of beer or whisky in batter if desired
While heating up a thin layer of oil in a pan on your woodstove, dip your crappie fillets from the egg batter mixture into crushed Doritos chips and drop into the oil for 3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
No salt, pepper, or additional spices are required as the Doritos have all that covered. Remove from heat, pat dry with a paper towel and enjoy!
