oh don't forget butter milk and corn bread. one of my favorites.

I've had a Baker's Choice wood cook stove for about 6 years. It heats our home, cooks our meals, and can heat water if we want. LOVE it. I wouldn't have it any other way, honestly.

You are very blessed.

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 .

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.

With some wet eyes, I confess to say I do really miss my own grandpa and grandma. Your video blessed my heart as some of us relive those great childhood memories. Simple times for uncommon folks.

Some of the happiest memories of my life are when I cooked on a wood cook stove while living on a farm in New Hampshire during the 70s.

My great grandmother had one - it was the ONLY stove she ever had. Great memories.

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.

By the way = Our cookstove is probably over 100 years old and the name on it is Round Oak - Chief. It has a top warming over, and a good water reservoir.

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.

Caneyville, ky. I have visited the factory. They use a steam locomotive engine to power shafts under the floor that runs there hydraulics. Steam engine also runs generators to power there welders. Very nice place and community. Great video thank you.

I have a fisher baby bear on my open back porch. We use it all year round. Im a prepper. Never tell others you are. I have an unlimited supply of wood. We all sit outside at 10 degrees and sweat. Cook and just love it.

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.

Im 50. My grandmother always cooked and heated her home with a wood stove. Cast iron she used when she was alive i still have. Their over 70 years old. Loved ur vid. Made me think of my grandmother. Thank you.

Charming couple, thank you for inviting us into your beautiful home and sharing! Wife lived in a cabin for years, family of four, cooking ,heating water, heat, all with wood. Before that a commune, all wood. (Previous husband, long ago) I'm lucky to be installing a soapstone stove but you said it best. Wood stove is mission critical. Water, check, food, check, defense, check. Freeze to death, not an option!

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 .

This Woman Is Fantastic! He's A Lucky Man, To Have A Wife Like That. Praise God Their Are People. Like THIS Still In The World. AMEN.

Funny, how old is suddenly new again! Wish I had my parents old wood stove. I was just a baby, but I remember my mom getting up early in the morning to light a fire in the stove. Bread baked in the wood cook stove is the bomb!!! Mom, cooked sausage, biscuits, and gravy and eggs in her trusty iron skillet. Those were the days of great food. 💕 💕 💕

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.

Great teaching video! Learned so much! Take care! Aloe Vera is a miricle cactus. We take the leaves that need to be trimmed off our plant and seal or vaccum seal put in freezer. 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.

this video is so good and shows just how much work and thought must be put to the test when using such a stove this take cooking to the next level from turning the dial to hands on management thankyou

I have an antique Vermont Castings wood cookstove. I have made the best turkey and bread in that oven. I have kept it just in case I need it.

From a farm 79Yrs ago -- Up-state WI. -- My Mother was over the (similar) Kitchen stove 6 to 8 hrs. a day/night. I would give almost ANYTHING for Mothers Kitchen Stove today!!

For the lady guessing the internal temp of the oven they make oven thermometers that she could place inside for about $10.00

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.

I am glad people are manufacturing these new stoves with some modern technology.

Neat video. Lots of first person hands-on information which will help folks get started with understanding and using their new appliance. I would advise anyone wanting to use a woodstove or cookstove to seek out a good competent professional to ascertain the condition of their chimney before doing anything else and make sure that your proposed installation is up to snuff. There is A LOT more to this than can be covered in a video. This is not a criticism...just my professional observation. My wife and I established a business and started servicing/installing and maintaining solid fuel appliances and venting systems in 1988 and I am retiring and passing the business on this season. I am widowed now and will be home more to make sure my Grandkids are warm, well fed, and safe no matter what. With all of the crap and uncertainty out there I am installing a U.L. listed and tested cookstove (Waterford Stanley- acquired in trade) in the homeplace in place of a heater that I have pretty well worn out. Fof anyone thinking of doing this, please don't take for granted that what you have now is okay...or that what you envision is the best or only way to do things. Don't be afraid to get help. Not every project is a DIY project. Be safe.

Real nice, gosh forgot what year we are living through now. This lady is timeless. The stove is Great Thank you.

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.

I could not keep from thinking back to my childhood. Images of my mother cooking over the woodstove , me and dad outside cutting wood, the awesome taste of real macaroni and cheese'' whole wheat and hand made" kept flashing through my mind! Awesome video..... Thank you for sharing not only this video but all the other knowledge you have shared with us.

Gives a whole new meaning to Spring cleaning.

More complacated than our stove I was raised with- first 17 yrs of my life with it- was easier to maintain - had a resavoir on right side built right in not all this built on stuff- always it was clean- I even made potatoe chips on the top in a fry pan

Just showed my wife the first waffle iron...no matter the price I want one !! Lots of yard sales in northern Pa during the summer so I am optimistic.

While living at my grandparents house while growing up I got use to a wood cook stove and wood heater in their house and they did a great job for years. 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.

Just found this . Way cool I could watch this all night .

We have a Baker's Choice in our ne retreat/home in Maine; it certainly factored into our buying decision and glad we did as our furnace went out and it was the heat, cooking, etc for the house.

If you have time I'd love to hear your thoughts.

When I was a little kid we lived in a 6-story walkup cold water flat. We had a stove like that (but it used coal) with a water heater element and a tub in the kitchen. I always thought we had it going on! Your's is way cool! Thanks for the tour.

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.

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.

Yep !!! It sure is !! It is not a just a "woodstove"... Its a WOOD "COOK" STOVE.. Mine was made in the 1800s......works perfectly !!

What a great video! So informative. Answered questions I didn’t even know I had! Thank you Many times over. The couple just super!

I encountered wood cookstoves when I was living in rural New Mexico and fell in love with them. Now I'm about to move to my retirement home in rural California and have got a lead on a vintage (1890s) stove that will be a perfect fit. Thanks for this very timely video!
