    LOL "With this stove you need a large bush of aloe vera" The way she said it was really funny. She is right. I am a professional blacksmith. Even though have not burned myself on my wood cook stove, I have burned myself with hot iron at my work. Aloe vera really does work.

    I grew up in the 50s on wood stoves made by Franklin in the late 1700s, they were a real chore to clean. I also learned that in the olden days, they used to collect the soot to make printing ink ... Imagine that ! You get really strong, chopping and sawing all that wood in the summer but then the rhubarb apple pies were ample reward. Things sure have changed over the years .

      My grandma's both had these when they lived on the farms in Iowa when I was little, also my mom did too when I was little--always felt so warm and cozy around the kitchen, and baked bread was wonderful----happy memories for a little girl who is now a senior citizen and almost forgot how COMFORTING simple rustic rural living can be.

    This brings back a lot of old memories from my childhood. Making fire in a coal stove and cleaning it was my chore. Our stove was connected to a water supply which warmed bath and dish washing water. Between the stove and the wall was a little crawl space where the hot water pipes came out of the stove. In the winter I used to crawl in there legs first to warm up while my mother prepares dinner on the stove for us. We were six children but that was my exclusive little spot which I annexed for myself only. For this privilege I had to do the dishes every evening, my mother said.

    The key point that is implied here is that 'Preppers' need a woodlot, like we had on our multi-generational farm. Get your 'tech' stuff, like the water jacket, before 'grid down' events. I am a fan of Lehman's' catalog products and have 'imagined' which of their stove offerings I would select. This video gives plenty of information about one cookstove and cookstoves in general. Truly, this video is a master class for wood range cookstoves! My mother started with this type of wood range. Thanks so much for the 'reality check.'

    My grandmother in Tennessee cooked on a wood stove till she passed away at 86. Family bought her a stove and she would not take it. She loved her stove and one of my cousin got it after she passed. I am still not happy about that. I loved that stove and when she cooked. Nothing like a Grandma. God bless you for cooking on the wood stove.

    I grew up with a wood cook stove . When I was a child my grandmother would make her special fried apple pies and a big pot of pinto beans . And a great big pan of cornbread . When it was raining and cold getting off the school bus at the corner of our street . That stove was where the action would be . You could smell the cooking up the street . Everyone knew when my grandmother was cooking . It sure was a welcoming place to be near .

    Great video with heart warming, kind actors. 🙂
    When I saw the cleaning procedure, I thought a bottom chimney metal box drawer might help them catch some of the stuff accumulating inside the chimney pipe, and enable them to, also, push the stuff from the stove into the chimney pipe. It should fall by gravity through a short metal slide into the drawer and simplify the cleaning process a little bit.
    They could ask a local masonry guy to do this.

    And I’ve gotten into the habit of cleaning under and around the oven of my wood cook stove every two weeks. I was told not to clean all the ash off the top of the oven because it prevents the baked items from burning the tops. Thanks for the tip about the cedar chips and the candle wax. There is a wood working shop just behind our place and they are always trying to get rid of the bags of sawdust.

      And white vinegar will clean the scale right out. If you want something quicker use the commercial product "CLR" (Calcium, Lime, Rust). I watched a man clean an ice machine with it and a new paint brush. He brushed it on and while he was brushing it on the calcium started falling off. I've kept a bottle in the house since then. Great stuff but white vinegar works well too.

My grandmother cooked all of our meals on that stove and my grandfather, brothers, and I collected, hauled it, and cut it up for the stove and heater and they kept the house warm during both Winter and Summer. My grandparents kept a can on the heater, and on the stove to keep the humidity down and kept water in the cans.

    I would love to have one these stoves. I cooked on a very large 8 eye antique Belleville for about 12 years when we lived in Alaska. It was very aesthetically pleasing to the eye with it's chrome trim and warming shelves but took 3 hours and a mountain of wood for all that iron to get hot enough to bake a pan of biscuits or bake bread. These new stoves are air-tight making them more efficient, they heat faster and burn a lot less wood and you can control the temp. which is a major plus.

Feels really good on burns. Can take gel and put in ice cubes. Have made a hydrating skin cream with aloe and castol oil...so many good things you can use it to heal, protect skin. Pure Liquid my Nana gave my great grandpa to drink. His urine was dark almost black and it became clear. The doctors had given him months to live and he lived another 5 years. Just thought I would share the wonders of Aloe Vera. If you get a female plant you can make new plants. I have about 20 right now! Make great presents in a nice little planter.

    In the summer my mom would send us south to spend the summer with my aunt. She had 2 stoves: a wood and a gas stove and we could only use the wood stove. She had an electronic iron and an old fashioned cast iron iron which we were only allowed to use to iron our clothes. We learned fast not to burn ourselves by the time the summer was over. Each room had a wood stove for heating during the winter. 😍

      @@itrow9526 if you're able to obtain a steady supply of wood,itd cut out alot of your energy bill. With an electric range and electric heat ours averages $240 a month throughout the year. Last year we used more killawatts per month,but our average bill was $180 a month. Our provider asked for and received a 9% rate increase last year and are now asking for an additional 7% increase. If they are approved for that our bill will be close to $300 a month,from only $180 a month 2 years ago. $3000 for this thing is an investment in our future. The only other 240vlt appliance that leaves is our hot water heater,which I'll change out to a heat on demand unit. If I can save $200 a month on our electric bill,thatll cover 2/3 of the cost of the stove in the first year of ownership. Our utility bills are gonna go up astronomically over the next few years and service may get sketchy thanks to our fine government. I'll spend now,and save big later.

    Thank you for the video and all the great information. The reason that they are getting so much creosote is that they keep the dampers down too much at night. The fire doesn’t burn efficiently and gives off a lot of smoke. Hope that helps!

    Thank you. So well explained. I have long wished for such a wood stove since I had the luck to see it in Austria. I have a pretty tile oven without
    cooking possibilities. Now after 20 years it is time to repair the whole thing. I have decided to get something like this. I live in a village in the black Forrest. These stoves here are not common here presently. I am looking for them around my region since one year. If I get one, I know how it works due to your video sharing your knowledge.

      Here I am again. Still not having the wood stove oven I wish. We have had bad storms damaging the our roofs, uprooting huge pine trees in the garden and I had 2 mild strokes. Complications one after the other. I have had to get 2 gears down. The antic tile oven is carefully remounted and stored in the cellar. Step by step, I am still looking for a solution.
      That you replied to me, I am glad. With the expenses I had and will have, is a question if I can have such a one but I if you like, I could introduce you to one or 2 good wood stove installers. With my knowledge of English and German. I would gladly guide you to them. With the present energy crisis, maybe your wood-stoves could have a chance around this area.

    I had one of the open fire ranges with three oven doors an open fire with trivets for pans and a back boiler. It was the best thing ever..the water was so hot we all took baths in the evening because it used to make such a noise. The middle and top ovens were really hot and the bottom one dried your kindling and logs for the next morning. I used to clean it out every second morning (sometimes every morning). It had dampers and bits you pulled to make the oven oe the water hotter but I found just running it for the open fire heated everything really well. I miss it so much but I have got a cooking woodstove for my cabin but we aren't finished building it yet, I wouldn't have anything else. Cooking woodstoves really are the centre of a home. I love this one.

    I remember those day as a kid my grandmother use to cook on hers. It kept the house warm. And the wood stove in the den was great too. We use to go out and pick up wood chips in the evening for the grown ups to start the fire in the early morning. I remember when we used coal to heat your homes. The best food ever is cook on a wood stove.

    It's a beauty. Real wood cook-stoves like this one were the climax of home wood burning technology. Wood-burning furnaces or non-cook stoves were not found in ordinary homes. These babies were what the farm houses relied upon. Grill-bricks (used in restaurants on electric or gas grill-tops), available at restaurant suppliers would be a great tool to clean the stove-top and they are almost 4" thick, allowing you to clean the top even when it's surprisingly hot. Put a little water on the top, rub the brick back and forth, rub it clean with a wet rag and let the water burn off. Heck, we used wet paper towels but the grills were smaller than the wood stove's top.

    I bought the pioneer princess ..get the long surface one with the water res. you'll love the extra space also order a second set of the inner fire bricks ...you'll need them ....
    .....Keep a small pail of salt handy close by the wood stove , If you have a chimney fire you want to put out in a hurry toss a few cups of salt in on the fire and close it down salt puts out a fire right fast ...salt is also good to cook with ... sprinkle a bit of salt on the stoves top surface and you can toast your bread on it with out the bread stickin and burnin ...a great trick ....also to resurface your cook stove get er hot and rub some cookin oil into the top surface use paper towels or even newspaper and keep them for fire starter nothing like oily paper to start a fire ...

    I always wondered how those things get cleaned inside the stove. Flue brushes work great and would clean your flue instead of the cement trowel or whatever you were using. The flue needs to be secured to itself and not just slipped on.
    But what a great stove. I've got a lot of the old cast iron items like the flip over waffle irons and stuff like that from my grandmothers house. I have some of her cast iron pans also. I'll always have those.
