And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
When my Grandparents moved into their farmhouse in 1953 there was one of these in the kitchen, immediately replaced with a gas stove....it sat on the porch for years....never knew where it finally wound up....
Just think how hot that stove got if you were working over it. Dang! I bet that's the origin of the phrase, "If ya can't stand the heat, get outta the kitchen."
Cooking on a stove like this, what timing and heat knowledge it took not to burn the food to a crisp.....now that was a chef in the olden days. Still I would cook on one of these.
Great-grandmother cooked on one, it was moved to the workshop and sat there for decades. We sold it to someone who restores them. Great Grandma killed and dressed her own chickens and rendered pork fat to make lard.

ReplyDeleteMy grandmother cooked three meals a day on a similar wood stove. Cornbread & biscuits with each meal.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice looking stove, doesn't look like it has a hot water reservoir on it.
