>>>Remember over 65 years ago the three burner kerosene stove my grandmother had in her shed that she cooked on all summer. <<<

Would you believe they still make them...

The one I got is this one...

I sure wish I had a good wood burner cook stove... To do it though, I would have to put the chimney right up over the 6' wide window in the master bedroom - don't think the wife would go for that. I often toast using a cast iron skillet - imparts a much better taste than the electric toaster.

Wow! Didn't even know they manufactured those any more. It's just like Gram's except hers was a sickly looking pea green. Your purchase certainly looks a lot safer.

Just love my wood cook stove but sympathize with your wife as I love windows even more. Would live in a glass house if it was practical. Guess that relates directly to my love of the out of doors. In my younger days, if hubby sensed I was becoming depressed during the dreary winter months, he always planned a jaunt on snowshoes into the woods. Nothing like the quiet, pristine surroundings of a snow covered forest to make you realize just how great the world around us is. With a package of frank forts, some rolls and a thermos of coffee life was great. Can't do that now as we have to have a fire permit. More rules and regulations.
