    Saw 2 of these listed on CL today, this one and one that looks very similar for twice the price. I wouldn't want it for daily use, but it'd be pretty cool to have if I had the space to set it up.

    And yes, I'm what you might call a "hard-core" woodburner...

    Bet that bugger weighs a ton.:)
    I know someone who keeps a stove similar to that in their basement, uses it both for heat and cooking when the family all come over for holidays.

    Nice looking stove. For me, it would take a while to learn how to cook on it.

    I guess this is a little before the days of pushing a button to "preheat oven to 450°F" lol!

    The only thing that lacks is a warming oven. Looks great.

    btw, when I was a little boy, my mama cooked all our meals on a stove very similar to that one. That also is where we heated all our water (the reservoir on the right).

    One day I will end up with one of that type of stove. For that price if it were closer, like within 100 miles, I'd be all over it. One thing I know for sure is to make sure the fire box is in good condition.

    When I remodel my kitchen, I will make sure I reserve a spot to just for a wood cook stove. Then I can get rid of this electric thing. (smooth top, push button, warning light, digital timer, etc ....... JUNK)

    I have a ~1910 majestic cook stove. It's all cast iron, would that be an army issue? (so I read some where)...

    When I was a little boy my Grammy cooked on one in her kitchen, which is now my kitchen. But that stove went in the 70's. Talk about heat in the kitchen in the summer, Wow!

    That's why there were summer kitchens created. Imagine doing all the canning inside in the summer.

    Thinking about it, I probably could haul that type of stove on my bike. Of course I'd have to remove the oven door so I would have a place to sit. So if there was a fire in the firebox, would that mean I would have a "Hot smokin butt" or just a "Hot butt?" :rofl: :lol:
