- Cleaning my Herald C wood cookstove and showing the different tools I use for this stove.
Check out my Videos Baking Beans and Grilling Steaks on the Cookstove. - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I have a vintage 1907 "Fairmount" from the Leonard & Baker Stove Co, Taunton Mass that i have been using since the 1970's. I found it in absolutely pristene condition, & have been using it every year since. I started out burning wood, but switched to anthracite coal early on. It supplements my heat & saves me a substantial amount of money on my heating bills ! I usually run the stove from Nov - April. I live in southern New York. I love cooking on my old stove as well.
That's fantastic they are truly wonderful appliances .I love the fact that they are over a hundred years old and still going strong.
Great stove and interesting to see inside to understand their design. From an era of art and fine craftmanship.
Thanks I also had a gas sidecar from 1914 restored for this stove ..
I love these old stoves. The black and nickel go so well together.
Thanks for watching
Brightest wood cook stove owner I've, seen. You actually show how to clean it!!!
Nobody ever thinks of the inherent smoke and (unwanted) fire damage that can occur when, YOU DON"T BOTHER TO CLEAN THE STOVE. Amazing. Simply Amazing. Thank you for espousing a little common sense. I'll definitely be checking out a few of your other videos.
Thanks its not really that difficult to clean..now the chimney pipe is a different story had soot blow out my shop vac into the Kitchen wasn't, fun lol
Whooa Senior !!! You are a total expert. As valuable as the stove philosophy !! Keeping precious knowledge alive. God bless. Keep it up.🎉❤
Thanks, you too!
Your video just saved me a huge service bill. We have had a Queen Atlantic for 10 years, purchased it totally refurbished, and absolutely love it. Cleaned it religiously every year. Started smoking at times through the burners this fall when the oven damper is closed. Thought well maybe an internal crack has developed or something, i was quite disappointed as we would be lost without this stove this winter, or had to limp it along til spring putting up with a little smoke. So fast forward to last night and some how stumbled across your video, you showed the clean out under the oven! Im quite embarrassed to say that i never knew about the clean out under the oven!! It was packed full of course, cleaned it and the Queen is brand new again! Thanks for your video!!
Im glad it helped ..Happy Thanksgiving
You as well@@notoffthegrid618

I would love to see what you cook we just got one at rummage sale in really good shape but have to learn how to cook on it we ordered the book
I have three videos on cooking with this stove ,one is home made beans from scratch.My wife makes a clam boil,and I cook a steak over the coals.The beans are from the book,been making them for 30plus years.We cook every thing on it in the winter .Baked chicken to pies,just remember to turn your food and watch the heat.
my dream an antique wood stove
Thank You!
I would like to see your home comfort stove and how you would clean it
My Home Comfort is in my shed it hasn't been restored.I have never used it bought it from a guy who needed money.
❤
Great video! We just inherited a Glenwood K and still
learning. How do you get the oven going ?
Hi, sorry I was out of state for a couple of months no internet.My stove has a lever in the front that you can close when you want to use the oven.You should look some where on your Glenwood that has some lever that does that.Let me know if you find it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you
I purchased a restored fairmount, but for the life of me cannot find one of those hinged tools that allows you to remove all three pieces at once to get to the firebox. Any idea where one might find one?
Hi you could try BarnstableStove Shop 1-508-362-9913 or
Antique Stove Hospital 1-401-635-4896 I'am sure there are more places if you google them near you.
WHY DON'T YOU TRY THE AMISH? ...IF YOU LIVE NEAR SOME
what is the purpose of a draft check? a slide that opens and lets air flow up chimney , reduces draft on fire. also the upper end damper over top of fire what is it's purpose?
Yes I never use the draft check so I can,t say .I want a pretty hot fire so I have less build up in my Chimmey.I do use the vent over the fire box sometimes the fire is too hot and will cause the top to turn red.You don't want that to happen will warp the top over the fire box.I open the vent and it allows cooler air over the fire and cools the top.I hope that helps.
From a cold start up how long to reach oven baking/roasting temperature? Is it true that house holders had to keep these stoves fired 24 hours a day lest they cool too much and have to start over. Oh and what is the oven temperature? Thx!
Hi Proberly about a half hour to forty five minutes from a cold start.The dryer the wood and size will result in a faster temp.I don't know about keeping the stove going 24 hrs in the summer . In the winter the stove was going 24 hrs .They usally put them in their summer kitchen depending where they lived.
what is the name of that tool that takes off the piece from the entire firebox? both burners
Double lid lifter ,,,sorry was away for a while.
Brasil !!!
Thank You from Cape Cod
Please post contact info of the guy who restored your stove. It's beautiful !
Hi if you google Barnstable stove on Cape Cod he has some great stoves on his site. Thanks
I'm restoring a Monarch Malleable. It's black and nickle. I was going to use stove polish but decided to use high temp stove paint. I wanted polish but it's never ending, once a week to be done properly and doesn't add long term protection for the stove. My question to you, is your stove top painted like the rest of your stove or is it seasoned like a cast iron pan? Thanks for any information you can give and making the video on your stove
Hi,the stove was painted with high temp paint when it was restored.The paint over the fire box has burned off over the years.I now polish the top every week when in use.I have replaced the Herald with a newly restored Union Crawford,the Herald is now in our farm house in New York and I'm considering repainting the top.I may do a video on the Crawford.
@@notoffthegrid618 Hello thank you for the speedy reply I appreciate it. I was thinking the paint above the firebox would burn off so I haven't painted it yet. I will polish the top then, if it works for you should work for me. What type of polish do you use? I have Rutland liquid polish readily available but not the paste. I could order in paste however. I tried the liquid on my stove before I decided to paint it with no luck. It simply would adhere. It was clean, I even used acetone to make sure no oil or debris would cause a problem
What a informative video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I recently purchased a refurbished Fairmont (1900-1920) wood burning stove and of course it came with no directions. I cant wait to use it. I did order the cookbook. I do have a question, can one burn treated wood like scrapes from 2X4s?
Hi I would not use any pine in your stove,most 2X4s are pine. never use pressure treat wood in any woodstove.The book you ordered will tell you
what kind of wood to burn .I only use hard woods
like oak ,ash ,maple ect.Safety is always first like having your chimmy inspected and cleaned.I'm
sorry for the long winded rant.thank you for viewing my video.
Do not burn treated wood, especially if your cooking with the fire.
Helâl olsun sana biraderim.
thank you
Here's a silly question. When you cook using a pot... do you remove the plates and put the pots in the hole ?
Hi ,its not a silly question I do not take the plates off they get hot enough to boil water . I know some people do and did in the past.Some of my cooking videos on the stove show how we cook.
@@notoffthegrid618 ok thanks. It seems like some smoke would escape through the gaps if the pan didn't fit over the hole. I'll check out your other videos.
the plates are your burners~
Yes the plates over the fire box are the hottest ...coolest toward the right side but still hot.You don't have to remove a lid to cook..you can but the pots or pans will get pretty sooty... The tool is called a lid lifter.@@escapematrixenterprisejacq7810
