The wife and I went to the sanctuary to watch a butterfly release event. Was hoping for a nicer day, but it was just OK, weather wise..
Took a tour through the stove store, to revisit his inventory. Has quite a collection of cooktops, some converted to gas. Some Oaks, but not many baseburners. I keep nudging the Mrs. about the cooktops, but it's still not sinking in.

One of my BIL and his wife use one year round. They were the original multi-fuel stoves. Firebox, cooktop, and oven below for wood or coal - with separate cooktop burners and oven overhead for gas. Very expensive if you find one in good shape.
Here's some pix of the BIL's Stewart.

So Paul, that looks like a "dual purpose" stove. (Cold weather, hot weather)
Do any manufacturers offer a smaller cooktop, with removable gas burners, for solid fuel applications too? I don't know why I'm asking. I don't have gas available on my street.
(Or do I? Now that I think of it, I think my neighbors "newer house", has gas.)

When in the 1950's we had a dual stove like that , on the left was a
coal burner single wide and had 4 gas burners on the right for cooking
when you had no fire . The left side also heated the oven and we had a
small resevoir of hot water for kitchen use. We used it to heat the kitchen
in the cooler autumn and spring weather.
