They said the top should be at 450 degrees so yes you can cook on it however they suggest a metal grate that lays on the soap stone so you don't scratch it up.

I have the opportunity to purchase a used Soap stone Wood burner. It was purchased in 1983 and to be honest it looks brand new on the outside. What should I look for and how much is it worth. I have posted a couple of pictures. I know it doesn't have a caytalist but is such a good looking stove.  They replaced in 2009 because they said it put off to much heat for the space. And stored it in their basement.
