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. :roll:

They have them that are originally gas and coal. The gas was for summer time use.

Summer time use? Now that makes sense Richard. So the guts are removable for coal burning?

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.
