    There is nothing, and I mean nothing, like a wood cook stove. Rose is a master of wood stove cooking and would make my great great grandma jealous... and I'm 61 years old. The answer to the question, "Does cooking on a wood stove make things taste better?" is a resounding YES!! There's just something about a wood cook stove that adds a nostalgic flavor and warmth to any meal. Rose tops if off with a generous serving of love and that's the kind of thing that makes every day as special as Christmas.

    We used to have one in our kitchen many years ago and upstate New York. It's sat right next to our electric stove. And yes we used it. I believe we did take it out of the kitchen in 1969. When we remodeled the kitchen. After a while I come to realize that was a big mistake to take that wonderful relic out of the house. The wintertime it helped. In the warming of our kitchen. ! And to think anytime we wanted to throw something in the oven there it was already preheated. Especially in the wintertime. 😁
    We had a wood coal-burning furnace down cellar. That heated the whole house but that in the kitchen was just added pleasure. !
    We used to have one outside also on the old foundation where our barn used to be. - mainly use that for boiling down our maple syrup. ! I remember, my uncles and my grandfather, who was tending to the maple syrup. Decided to bring the kettles in the house and cook them on the stove in there as it had been tremendously raining with no let-up. My grandmother standing there saying you're making a big mistake.. should not bring that into the house and cook it down in here.... And she was Right. ( Everyone knows it seems to take forever to cook down syrup )
    Whelllll, after a whole lot of hours at cooking, condensation kept building up, and the next thing you know the kitchen ceiling fell.. COULDN'T Take all that CONDENSATION BUILT UP.
    Grandma, with sitting there stirring her coffee when the first plop went down and landed in it. Ashley steadily steered her coffee with articles of stealing she said: I TOLD YOU WASN'T A GOOD IDEA. 😮😅😂😂😂
    Memories 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣

    The little cover is where the soot is taken out of the stove. There's a long thin rod with a flat bar thar is attached Ti the end of the rod and just fits through the hole. And we used to check it quite often. Ours was the same but we used coal and had a hot water front that was in the firebox on the left and provided the hot water.

    I have been looking for one of these since the 60s when they were still all over the place but I figured I had lots of time to get one. Wrong. They are very rare now. The ones you see now are firebrick and sheet metal - NOT SOLID CAST IRON. This is what I grew up with. They come apart in pieces, hence the numbered parts. You take them apart to moves them so they aren't so heavy to move. And yes that one is a mini. I'm used to the ones that are nearly twice the size. You lucky dogs.

    Hey y’all Rev. Paul Eustis Florida. I grew up in Alaska, my mom would have us children make a large fire. We would put her cast iron cookware in the fire after starting it. It would glow red hot too, letting it burn down cooling themselves till that evening or next day, burning off the scale built upon it. Afterward she would re-season them and put them away.

    You can cut a plain steel plate and weld it in with nickel rod. You have to heat the cast iron and then weld it. Don’t use any water to cool it down because it will crack the cast iron. You can patch the other hole the same way .

    We had a wood stove when I was growing up. It had two sets of interchangeable grates for the fire box, one for wood only and one for coal. It also had a crank to operate the coal grate and break up the clinkers (similar to melted glass) that formed when burning impure coal. Coal fires were hotter and lasted longer so they were best for heating the old farmhouse during the dead of winter. A combination of dry maple and birch or fir and spruce was used during spring, summer and fall for heating and cooking. Your video brought back fond memories of my youth.😊😊. Much respect. Keep up the good work!

    If you don't clean you pans with dish soap and only use a steel sponge, rinsing and then putting your oil on and heating to a warm heat. They stay beautiful. I love that you, Rose, are like me scavenging wrought iron skillets. One time when I was in Alaska at a garage sale the people were using their skillets as water bowls for their dogs. Now I noticed that one pan was about an 18 In skillet. The guy gave them to me! I was so excited because they didn't really know the treasure they had and gave it away.

    You should use some RUST CONVERTER in the areas that won't see daylight for many more years..like where that plate was screwed over...or the bottom. Rust converter is fantastic for stopping rust from spreading anymore! I have used it on many things and it works GREAT..You just brush off the worst rust, and then paint it w the converter and it makes a hard, black, paintable surface. I've done old stair railing, bird cages, trailer frames, and it has done great on all..rust is gone..

Frankly, I am convinced you would probably be strolling the grounds of one provincial institution or another without the love and goodness she showers on her loved ones.
    Is it possible she was out looking for a world-class issue to conquer and she is still at it, touching up the rough spots? In any case, she sure seems like a keeper!😊

Try cooking a grilled cheese sandwich right on the stovetop, it cooks wonderfully and it will auto clean by burning the butter off.

    Twenty years ago my wife and I used a slightly larger version of that to heat our home and cook on. (Eastern Ontario) The only problem we had it would not hold sufficient wood to heat the size of the house we had overnight. The one we had had the warming area on top and a water reservoir on the right-hand side. An add-on here In the summer time we would move it outside and place it between the house and garage and do our canning and cooking out there so as not to heat the house up..
