Hello Bob from our farm in New Hampshire. I need to show this video to my husband so he can see the nice kindling you use. I am a paper and kindling gal to start " Matilda", vintage 1930. We have six burner plates, so the bacon need to go in the pan, but that bacon would certainly season that cook top :-) Very nice. I do use a ball of wax paper to scrub the top when it is cold, allowing me to place toast on the stove. It doesn't get any better than that. My 1908, 7" Griswold is much lower than yours, but has the coil handles. I place the waffle iron right on the open fire to heat it up, remove it to the base and then pour the batter. Found that information in an old book. Supposedly a good cook could get two waffles out of one heating. Not me. I cannot imagine cooking for a logging camp with a kitchen wood stove. That took talent! Love to read those stories. Great job on the cooking and great job with the waffle batter to your wife. She has it down pat. ~ Diane
My Dad is 96 this year and he also told me they would use wax paper to protect the cook top. The small kindling and newspaper does work as you saw for me as well. My waffle iron is Aluminum so it holds no heat. Even over them flames you saw it does not do as well as the electric waffle press. I keep my eye out for a cast iron Waffle Iron. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. It keeps me making new videos.
I'm 51. My wife was amazed when I showed her the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon with my hand. I poured salt in my palm and then transfered that amount exactly into a measured teaspoon and then did the tablespoon. It just works when you know.
I imagine there’s areas between the plates where bits of potato and other food can get trapped. Can you make a video showing how you clean all that out after you cook stuff?
That sounds reasonable how often you should check your grill plates. The short answer is, It seals the cracks so smoke does not escape. Smoke more then cooking oils or food will do that. But your right on point because the cast iron dose move as it heats and cools.
@traderjoe- yes, you have a good point. Our 1930 Home Comfort has what is called a floating cook top. I do not have that swell griddle like Bob has. Our stove has six lids and those scraps and bacon grease would make a mess. I only place bread down to make toast and everything else goes into a fry pan or cast griddle. Still you can't beat these stoves, especially during a NH blizzard/power outage Ours is going as I type. It will heat 1,000 square feet.. ~ Diane
@@dianehall5345 I am so happy I did get two griddles and 2 openable burners. I have what could be considered a Hardware store stove. What that means is, You could go to any hardware store in America up until 1975 to buy new burner plate or shaker grates the wood or coal rested on. So more parts are still out their to be found.
Why are you yelling? Also, a nice way to represent Texas; you're a very sad person. Looks like Bob enjoyed it, so that is all that counts. Who cares what you think... sad rainaflores779, no one cares actually.
Really made the breakfast look and sound good this morning. Coffee was a must. Great job there Bob.
It was tasty, Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
You have a nice set up. Was it just me or did food just Tast better from a wood cook stove? LOL I kind of miss it. Thanks for the memories, guys.
It was so good the wife baked more potato's for the next three breakfasts. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

That is how it has been done way before cook books were invented. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
Looks good, have a great day, new friend here.
