Since getting back from my travels a few weeks ago I have kept my fire going almost permanently. I use the following process which is pretty fuel efficient:
I build a good size fire and do my cooking. Once the coals have burned down I add a few logs of wood and put the door on the oven allowing a small vent under the door. Up to 12 hours later I can remove the door and the wood has turned to charcoal and ignites after about 15 minutes after opening the door. I can cook breakfast then throw on a few logs and the cycle continues and the oven is ready for cooking dinner when I get home from work. I am monitoring the ash but it seems to be burning off and not building up as expected - so far anyway.
I use the oven for cooking full egg, bacon, sausage & toast breakfasts, baked potatoes, roasts, warming breads and other things up - even making soup. Can't remember when I last switched on the electric oven....
