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.

I wonder how many of these are still out there being used?
I don't have that model. But ours is from late 1800's . Rebuilt it 15 years ago. Coal wood combo. Works great, fun to cook on. Baking can be a challenge haha...
We have one and cook everything on it half the year. It is easy to use and has more space than a regular stove/oven. It is the best for cooking pizza, and if the electricity is out you are still warm and fed.
We have a 'Comstock Castle' 1905 wood burner in our kitchen. Use it off and on primarily for heat during the wintertime but we do cook with it. As someone else mentioned, using the oven part is a real challenge. Can't beat it if we're out of propane or the electric power goes out (think rural southern New Mexico).
Learning to cook on one of these is a chore, learning to manage the fire inside so not to burn all the food and bake as well, that's a talent.
ReplyDelete…and the woman who know how to cook on them. Knew a few, constant adjustment by a woman who grew up cooking on the stove.

ReplyDeleteQueen Atlantic (Portland Stove Foundry) here - and it's in great condition but strictly a back up.
ReplyDeleteHad a wood cook stove (white enamel) back in the '70s. Had the added benefit of heating the "dome" we lived in. That was the 1970s not the 1870s.

Pic is of a 1929 Glenwood C. Didn’t down load correctly. Heat and eat.

We had one when I was growing up.
ReplyDeleteWood ranges are still being made and sold today. Lots of preppers buying these.
ReplyDeleteI tried to buy a house not long ago that had one. Didn't make the deal and wouldn't sale the stove
