I'm finding this very interesting and educational, Mudbrooker. Thank you. When you first started with these stove restoring videos I thought to myself, "why would someone want to go through that hassle and have that stove in their house?" Now I'm thinking, "who wouldn't want that stove in their house? It's wonderful!" 🙂
The stove looks great Mud. : ) Try a product called Bar Keepers Friend on the stained enamel... It works great at removing stains on everything. It cleans glassware stains and I even used it on rust stains on vinyl siding. It was the ONLY thing that removed the stains. I see these cook stoves once in a while on the online classified ads too. I saw one that was very small this summer. It had only two eyes and no stove or raised back part. The guy wanted $250 but I had no place to put it. I would eventually like to get one like yours for our cottage.
I was so excited to see you light the stove. This brings back so many amazing memories of my child hood with my Grandma and Great Grandma. Thank You so much. Can't wait for more of your amazing video's.
Can't wait! Hope this means you finished the exhaust/chimney. ;p BTW, I'm using your oven cleaner method of cleaning our 100 year-old cast iron pans. These were my grandparents. Started with two: a #3 Griswold and an old one notch vintage Lodge. Only way I could tell what they are is by using oven cleaner. I'm on my third application! Looking great. Planning on doing a 50/50 (vinegar/water) spray and scrub method. Won't keep the solution on more than 30 minutes total. Should remove any superficial rust; although, I don't see any rust. Going to use crisco to re-season with your method. Thanks for all the info and for teaching me how to restore these! Can't wait to see the wood stove fire up (literally)!
@@TheMudbrooker really enjoyable to watch you restore this old store to working order. Thanks for sharing your journey. YES, it is fun to figure out what you're dealing with when it comes to old crusty cast iron! I have another one of my grandmother's pans, which is the same size as the Griswold #3, but the sides look like they have a design on it (looks hammered). I'm guessing it's the same vintage (maybe 20-40s), but I'm not sure, and I can't see the maker's marks. I'm thinking I'll keep this one in it's original state since the bottom doesn't have any build-up. My grandmother and mother did a lot of cooking with that little pan! The Griswold #3 and the vintage Lodge (much lighter than the contemporary version) are in the oven right now @ 300 degrees for 3 hours with Crisco. So much fun! Thank you for teaching me.
Very cool! I have learned a lot about cast iron from your videos, so thank you for that! That cast iron wood stove is killer. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your restoration.
We got 5-6 inches Tuesday with a little melting and more snow since, there's about 3-4 inches on the ground now. Snow in October isn't unusual but it usually doesn't stay until around Thanksgiving.
How cool to get to see this stove fired up! It reminds me of the cook stove in my grandparent's basement. It was a giant (to me as a kid at least) black beast and I can't recall if it was a Monarch or Majestic but it really put out the heat. Thanks for continuing these updates and I'll be looking forward to your cooking videos on it.
Very cool video. I remember my grandmother on the farm cooking over a stove like this when I was kid. Must be hard to control the heat to cook on it but I'm no expert.

Cleaned pretty good, didn't she? :)
Nice old stove! Good job on the rebuild. This really gets me excited to get one going!! Enjoy.
Oh my gosh, she's up and running. Sweet! 😁👍🏼
Yep, it's been going all day today.
Thank you for showing the back and the inside of the stove.
Man, that looks like a job for professionals, not for weekend DIY'ers, or bass players! Have at it chief.👍🏿
Amazing to see it up and running.. thanks for sharing this with us
I couldn't be happier to have it working.
The stove looks great Mud. : )

Man I love the newspaper 🗞️ idea for making holes for the damper in the pipe thank you

I have about 7 or 8 in mind at the moment. I'm sure there'll be plenty more.

She's up and running, It's fun to discover what a crusted old pan really is ain't it?

Apart from a little polishing, I'm finished with the restoration.
Im in ND, near the Montana state line. We've had snow for 5 days now. Roads are pretty good. Snow is bottom calf deep. Not bsd for 5 days. .
We got 5-6 inches Tuesday with a little melting and more snow since, there's about 3-4 inches on the ground now. Snow in October isn't unusual but it usually doesn't stay until around Thanksgiving.
@@TheMudbrooker We had a lot more drop than what we have. Like you, melt off. Same here. Not normal for October. Supposed to warm up Wednesday. 👍🏼
Great video. Awesome to see her up and running. Thanks!
You're welcome.
What a great job you have done!! She is beautiful!
Now, to bake cook some beans, fry some potatoes , and make some cornbread!!
The cooking is coming next, I'll start with something on the stove top while I relearn the knack of fire control.
Thanks for sharing this vid. Ive got essentially the same stove and lookin thru your vids on how the oven works.
The stove is looking great!
Working great too. :)

Some cookstoves really were quite big, mine is a mid-sized, mid-range sorta stove.
Success !
Yes indeed.
Love it. I keep waiting for your next one. Plus, I live in Wisconsin.
Next one I'll be cooking something.
Mud, I had no idea you had a channel until earlier in Grampy's live. I am going to love your channel. I lovvvve cast iron. ☺️🧡
Great job thanks for the video
You're welcome.
Great tips. My brother & I did a great by winging it. No frustration. All turned out dine. Your series has come in handy for my project.
Glad it was useful. :)
Very cool video. I remember my grandmother on the farm cooking over a stove like this when I was kid. Must be hard to control the heat to cook on it but I'm no expert.
Watching that old stove fire up brought back some fond memories of growing up in Central Appalachia. Great content.
Thanks, I'm tickled to death to have it running again.
Sorry I missed it. Thanks Mudbrooker 😊
No problems.
Nice.
Thanks.
You keeping an electric range for the summertime cooking? ;)
Yeah, I don't feel like building a summer kitchen.
Shes looking good. Looking for ward to seeing you blacken the top and then comes the cooking. Food cooked on a wood stove or over a fire is delicious.
I can't wait either.
What part of Wisconsin?
Dadgum right I enjoyed this video...oh yeah.
Women love smart men with skills.
I do come in handy now and then. :)
The smart part is relatively subjective, but I can play the bass! [Laffin'😉]
I hate to say it, but it’s bugging me that you didn’t get the base turned back around so the blue does not show.
I should have enough victims...ah, helpers here over deer hunting to take care of it. It's bugging me too.
LOL. Thank you!!!
14:35 Is that a leak?
A little backdraft. Sometimes when you first start the fire the smoke will "pile up" in the chimney and puff back a bit until it starts drawing good.
Gas, propane or a heat pump just can't warm you up like a wood stove.
Nothing else feels right after you've heated with a woodstove.
"This movie" 🎃😀 we're old Mudbrooker,, kids today just refer to these as 'videos'
I didn't even notice I said it until I was editing.
