Introduction: The Tale of a Cold Winter and a Hot Solution
I remember years ago, standing beside a frozen fishing hole with layer upon layer of clothes, dreaming of a hot meal. There was something oddly poetic yet excruciatingly impractical about being a chef in a winter wonderland, far from the warmth and convenience of my kitchen. But let me tell you, times have changed. Meet the Sunflower Stove—a game-changer that has transformed my winter fishing expeditions from a test of endurance to a culinary escapade.
