Rock, the fact that you cook on a wood stove impresses the heck out of me, no matter what type of pan you use. I cooked on a wood stove when I stayed in a primitive cabin for a week. Talk about a challenge. It was an old stove, so maybe they've improved on them. I baked in the oven one time. Wow, was that hard to regulate.
Here's some info that backs up your claims, FWIW.
Which Type of Cookware is Safest for Cooking?
I use stainless steel pots with a copper bottom (exterior). Occasionally, I use the stainless skillet for browning a meat that will be baked in the oven or go in the crockpot. For most of my frying I use skillets by Calphalon which I just found out in the article at the link is anodized aluminm and IS recommended for safety. Who knew! I received it as a gift and at the time it had a lifetime warranty. I took it back a couple of times Since the surface did get messed up. It works great!
Sounds like ceramic works for you and should be safe according to this article. The things you learn on the Sunday Morning Talk Show thread!

No, ours is an old-timer too, but it's not black, it has a porcelain finish on the sides and a black cooktop. I need to take it apart and put it back together with furnace cement so it will be a little more manageable.

Yeah, I'm not that gung ho. I don't cook on wood all the time, usually in the winter or when it's pretty cool out. It makes it nice and warm in the kitchen and when you have a good batch of flames it works well for frying or using the wok (cast iron in my case) I take off the round stove lid and stick the wok right down in the fire.
However, I like cooking on gas just as well, and I firmly believe the best ovens are electric.
