Cookin' With Coal

Awesome find! You will probably find lots more with that haul you just got. Next you will be taking orders for whole St. Nick stoves now that you have the patterns!

I had a lady call me last week asking if I would buy her cookstove, I originally told her no I have almost 100 cookstoves but shoot me a pic and maybe it will spark my interest but regardless I wouldn’t pay much for one.
So I get the pic and I’ll be, ibhalf half the patterns for the stove
A 1887 Atlantic grand no8
Her father bought it in the 70s from Bryant’s needs a cleaning and polishing but it has all new dockash grates and the nickel is near perfect and to top it off no missing parts, her asking price... “is $400 too much?” Haha needless to say it will spend the rest of its days in my kitchen

I’ll take some better pictures as I clean it and get it into the house

A very nice find.

Looking forward to more pix.

Well I have it mostly cleaned up, I checked it all over and re sealed 2 joints on the oven and the rest was good to go
I would call this a medium sized range, with a oven measuring 18”w and 20”d it takes a 20” stick of wood. It has new dockash grates already however it has cast iron wood liners so as soon it it stays warm I will be lining the box with noxram. This range has the oven control in the front frame just above the oven door which seems like a good place for it, not sure why they went away from that design. Even know it’s car season I’m kinda looking forward to putting some nut in this ol girl, Coincidently in that lot of stoves that I bought came a whole bunch of the original patterns which I’ve mentioned before I have a bunch of the original patterns for the stove

Really nice looking stove Dana, can't wait to see some photos of the food cooked or baked with it.

Randy

I hope to get the grill out to tomahawk this week, I will post on here and private message each of you so you can call them and put your name down to save on shipping
Dana

Sounds good. I look forward to getting one.

Randy

That range looks really good, Dana.

Some of the ads I've seen for ranges that have the oven damper moved to the rear said it was to prevent heat related binding with the longer type front control. And, it may have been difficult to use because the front rod is in a much hotter exhaust stream than some of the rear mounted damper levers in the oven flue exit at the pipe collar ?????

How do you deal with summer heat? Pull a range apart n reseal. This on is a columbian epoch. If reading casting date right its a 1929 vintage.

I had a gentlemen drop off this 1874 acorn palace to dismantle and reseal, has a few broken pieces to fix as well

Very nice. Are you resealing to set it up and use it ?

Very pretty. Would love to see more pix of details of it.

It's nice to see that such an early range as that is still going to be used. Only one I've seen operating from that era is a Glenwood that Wilson had.

It will be used this winter, first time since the 40s or 50s so I’m told.

Guy a few towns over owns it, I guess it’s been at someone’s stove shop in northern Vermont for the past 4-5 years and he still hasn’t gotten it done
