for over 25 years we have use a Stanley kitchen stove for--
I use wood for both of my stoves . The stanley is in the celler. cooking canning much easier to do because you can move it around for the right spot (Stanley)
I baked 10 pans of bread and & etc. ...when the kids were home.Now I just cook for myself.
The big thing was we heated water in a canner, the water was for the baths and dishes.Had to carry it up to the bath room .This was all done on the kitchen stove in the
celler Hot water for tea or etc. on both stoves
WE get heat from a Fisher stove upstairs on the first floor
and I do cook on it in the winter with cast iron pans. There is nothing like cooking in a cast iron.I stack all the wood myself, not bad for 67.
I even use a drying rack for the cloths.
I think it became a life style for us.
Please excuse the spelling and et. I'm haveing one of those DA days
