Peter is a renowned author on the subject of historic cookery. And... this is how he really cooked (cooks?) on an everyday basis. A very pleasant and knowledgeable man.
I recall a movie set in the 1900s, Shelley Winters was using one of these to cook christmas lunch, she gets a ladle of paraffin from a barrel and pours it into the firebox and orders a boy to get more wood!
My great aunt had one of these on the moors - There was a saddle tank on the kettle side with a big brass tap - when we stayed she would pour water from it into a tin bath on the floor and all 3 of us would bath in the same water there on the kitchen floor - on more than one occasion farmers and such would call in for a brew why we were in the tub - if the kitchen door opened a bitterly cold wind would definitely get your attention - She was a strange lady she never liked electric when it was connected and still used huge old oil lamps
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to post this film, it's so useful for research when writing a historical novel and has just the level of detail needed very much appreciated
I'd really like to find a range like this for my house. It would be awesome to have in my kitchen and would fit right into my kitchen fireplace. I use coal for everything else in the house so why not my stove.
I grew up in glossop, near machester, my brain and grandad had a stove, I used to bath in a fun bath when I stopped there, I am also part native American, hence the name, the yellow on my picture is the stove american
You can see how the modern way is a complete mentality shift. As everything here is basically done in the living room around a single fire like it would have been for thousands of years prior. Which essentially means it's perfect for small houses but doesn't scale well.
Brilliant , I am currently looking for information on how to fit one of these , Mainly the flue connection from under the oven up to the chimney , Any information would be greatly appreciated from any one out there that could advise me .
It’s called a bottle Jack. It’s clockwork, you wind it up. There was also a thing called a hastener that used to it in front of the fire and would speed up cooking time. It had a well at the bottom to catch the juices and a door so you could baste the meat. Ruth Mott used on in the Victorian kitchen.
i have one of these in,that i use every day,mainly in the winter,it is my only form of heating,but with the heat it throws out,there,s no need for any central heating,it cooks great,& ample hot water,from the back boiler,even when in the morning when the fire has gone out,the cast iron is still quite warm,the only downside is ordinary house coal is to be banned from 2023,so i,ll have to use smokeless fuel,& i,m not sure how it will burn it,has its somthing i,ve never used,but the range is staying in,regardless whether its used or not,

Really excellent video, it's taken all the mystery away from them. Every time I see one it's made me wonder which bit does what. Thank you
I'd love one of these it would be a dream come true
This is what CZcams is all about! Brilliant 👌
My grandmother had one used it for everything, it was beautiful.
Wonderful film of the old range. Beautifully explained and narrated. Thank you.
One of the most comprehensive cast iron oven I have ever seen!
Really enjoyed this video. Thank you so much for posting 👌🙏
Great video mate, I really appreciate the insights into the older gear

beautiful
real nice stove there
Great bit of kit so lovely to look at instead of some nondescript ovens we have today
thats the coolest thing ever...
We had one in our kitchen. The Christmas goose was always cooked in the side oven. Our range did not have attachments, and no hot water tank though.
Very interesting thank you.
I have one in the cellar, all rusted up. Id love to get it fettled and working again.
Lindo pena que não tem aqui no Brasil, está de parabéns

It's beautiful, but what if you wanted the oven to run at anything below 200?
Here is a translation of Jeans Comment "A beautiful pity that does not have here in Brazil, it's to be congratulated"
An excellent range! Would've taken skill to use one in comparison to a modern electric or gas cooker.
Wish ours worked like that. We have one in our 16th C little cottage but the oven sides have perished so its just ornamental now
You could get it repaired. Many old ranges are reconditioned.
this in in England?
Simple was always best.
Can wood be used in place of coal?
Moore2Life yes, it can
Is it ready yet? Is it ready yet?
It's called a copper for heating water
How does the rotisserie work back and forth like that is it spring loaded. I want one for my fireplace
