pflaming Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 This was on a farm trailer on a remote rural road. The asking price was very low. I stopped and enquirer. Selloe realized it was way under priced but does not like the hassle of selling so priced to sell. It is a complete stove, no parts missing or damaged. On one side heat with wood, etc on the other cook with propane or natural gas. Will likely sell it to buy new tires for the Suburban. i grew up with such, how about you?

casper50 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 my grandmother cooked on a coal stove and had a hand pump in the kitchen. When i was small and stayed over I used to break the large chunks of coal into smaller ones with a hammer. Kept me out of mischief I believe.

'Cept she had running water installed by the time me and my brother came about, but she still had the hand-pump in the kitchen and was always keen tp prove it still worked. I remember the collier delivering coal, and "GG Ma" digging through her coin purse to pay him. Then me and my brother would break the big chunks down into what nowadays is nut coal, didn't help to keep us out of trouble, though. We must have had too much fun and made too big a mess, but she still had us do it when we visited in the summer, probably to "build character". This was in Centralia, IL when the coal mines were still open, so coal was the preferred heat source. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Elder Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 we had an all gas stove that looked very similar, when you flipped the burner cover up to cook there were simple recipes for good meals printed on the bottom from the factory.
