In looking for a replacement of the old rusted out barrel stove at the hunting shack, we found an old broken down two burner laundry stove
at a local junk seller. It was missing the front doors and the legs were missing and or broken beyond use. Also the round cast iron
grate was cracked in several pieces so it was a bit of a challenge to return it to usefulness.
These stoves put out a lot of heat on the cook top so will be able to use it for heat was well as for cooking. Another interesting feature
is that the bowl of the stove has a water jacket in the cast iron with one inch pipe threads. I'm not using the water heating feature but
the stove heats up nicely anyway without any problems.
Here's a photo of the stove in the shop after being renovated with her new longer legs, total investment $15.00.
