Cook on wood Cook Stove?
You will not believe.. Years ago.. I moved into a rental home that had a majestic wood cook stove. My mom and grandmother went crazy! They told me all about and how to cook on it. I live in a very hot part of N. CA.. and even though I had an electric range and oven as well.. I did not use them. I got hooked into the wood cook stove! Since then I wanted a wood cook stove. I looked high and low for over 10 years.. 2500.00 was out of my price range but it was a majestic just like I used in that home. A week or so ago, out of the blue the thought hit me again. Just small salesman type were 1500.00. Just killing time I decided to key into my local craigslist. What did my tiny eyes did appear! A majestic wood cook stove! 400.00. However this Majestic wood cook stove looked just like my majestic from 10 years ago.. When the person agreed to let me come see it.. He did not tell me the address, but I told him I already thought I knew the address and gave his address to him. He "LOL" and said yes! IT WAS MY MAJESTIC! Well today he delivered it! Though it wont fit in my home (just yet) It has made its way home to me. Now I do not know if any of you out there have ever had food cooked on a wood cook stove (Majestic) but it is best cooking ever! If you had a choice to beat the electric bills or gas bills would you want a Wood cook stove? Though my pregnancy days are over.. This gives me wonder to the saying towards women, barefoot and pregnant. I don't wonder.. as back in the days the wood cook stove was the place to be.

You have a Good day,
Impossible to keep the heat just right
It truly is to die for!
Yes the prior owners of this house located the wood stove about 1.5 feet away from the wall and put bricks under its feet to isolate it from the floor. This allows radiates of the heat which is fine when it is hot, but like I wrote getting hot takes awhile.
BTW, Heartland here.
coffee was always on, ate in he kitchen in winter, sat around a big table after supper, chat coffee, no tv those days.
You are so lucky, too expensive in my country if you can find one.
Enjoy !! wish I was there !
Times sure have changed.
Hope you get that wood cook stove going again and enjoy using it and whatever you cook on it.
