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 would use that. People really had to understand the process of cooking with wood way back when. If you can cook on an open fire, you should be able to use one of these.
What seems like a zillion years ago, my family went on a vacation to the Kimbrabou National Forest in West Virginia. I think that's the correct name. Anyway, the place was pretty primitive. We stayed in a log cabin on a lovely creek. The fireplace heated the structure. There were an outhouse and a wood fired stove. My mother was aghast that she had to cook our meals in such a primitive way. My father had to chop wood. As a young boy, it was great.
Not quite! The handle at the top was pulled up creating the vacuum, making it sweat powered. I found a similar huge stove with beautiful porcelain panels in an abandoned homestead in Kansas while I was in the military there in 1970. It was built to operate on kerosene which was gravity fed from large (2-3 gal) glass bottles. Bubbarust
That is the FIRST cook stove I've ever seen (seen and used a lot of them), which was not on a fireproof base, bricks, metal, insulated pad. Hence, I doubt it was ever used in that position.
Hey Anon 7:57, I didn’t see any fireproof bases anywhere in the Appalachians, in the 50s & 60s, nor did I see any on any of the several heating & cooking wood stoves in Oregon, Washington, Montana or Idaho during the 70s….

ReplyDeleteMy grandparents used one of these into the 1970s, despite also having a gas stove.

ReplyDeleteAnon 7:57 is correct. Those that used wood for heating/cooking succeeded if they were careful.

ReplyDeleteFireproof base, bricks, metal, insulated pad? You obviously never lived even close to the era these stoves were used.
