We need a front door and I found an old stove not far from where the door was. The stove may not work out but the door is perfect! I can't wait to start working on it!

Very interesting video, brings back memories of when I was 15, summer of1955. I was standing on the side-board of a small custom combine filling and sewing burlap grain sacks, oats, Did this for small farms around the small Comunity of Winlock WA. We were invited in for dinner, ! PM was dinner time, supper was after 5 PM. The Lady of the house, to my surprise was still usinf a large wood stove with a side hot water tank for all her kitchen chores. Wonderful, (large), home cooked meal on a wood stove.🤠🥩
Some young people want to possess old material objects, but have very little use for old people. You talked to an "old man" which "made his day". You will be an old man soon enough and some arrogant younger guy will come along and think he is doing you a great favour in talking to you. In fact it is a privilege to meet and talk with an elder - and something to be more grateful for than any object.
My Grandmother had a stove just like the one you've got. She could make anything on that stove. Thanks for the memories.
If the firebox has firebrick then you can burn coal,, The tank on the side behind the Exhaust is a water tank to heat water
That stove is great, also it would be a great video on the restoration of that stove
That stove is a gem. I hope you can restore it.
Watching this video 3 years later...hope you kept the old wood stove...
Neat old stove. I hope you can restore it. You can bake biscuits or cornbread whatever in that oven. And cook other food on top. I love the taste of food cooked on old wood stove. I have one porcelain clad water reservoir warming oven. Not use it anymore . My daughter has it now just setting on the porch. But I like the stove you already have in your house. I never saw one like it. Taking top off and filling like that. Kool
W had a wood cook stove similar top in the 40's on the ranch , ours had a food warmer attachment mounted about 5 ft high on the back. later mother had an additional electric stove in the kitchen. she preferred the wood stove to bake, and just used the electric stove in the summers. when the old 1900 log house didn't need any heat.
I think the wood goes in the end opposite the chimney. The end next to the chimney exit may be a water tank. The wood may also go under the "burners". One way to find out, blow some compressed air into the chimney, and see where most of it comes out with all the plates in place. The large box in the middle is most likely the bread box oven. Best home-made biscuits ever, coal or wood. Great for bread and cakes too. Just have to allow yourself time to learn how to use it with out burning the food. It is way different than a gas or electric range. It would be a great cook stove in the colder weather as it doubles as your heat source, but would make the house uncomfortable during the warmer months. I see in a lot of the comments below suggestions to paint it. I would not use paint if you're going to use it for cooking. Wire wheel it real good and get it hot and season it with beef fat like you would season a cast iron skillet. When it starts looking dry, melt some fat and rub it down again. Animal fat will season cast iron better than any vegetable oil, and if done right, will make the surfaces virtually non-stick (for splash-overs and spills). Grandma seasoned her old Ben Franklin coal cook stove twice per year and that was all she cooked on/in until I was in my early teens, about the same time they got indoor plumbing they updated the kitchen to a gas range. She hated it, but got used to it eventually.
They kept the coal stove for years as their primary heat (grandpa was a coal miner), and she still used it for her baking until I was in my 30's. (I'm 47 now). I would suggest cleaning out the water tank and using it in the winter as wood and coal heat is pretty dry, and added humidity helps for a comfortable house. Short of using the water tank (if that's what that end is) put an old cast iron tea pot on top or a pot of water.
Absolutely beautiful stove, just needs cleaning and seasoning.
Of course if it is to be an art piece, go ahead and paint it if you so choose, it would still be beautiful. White speckled Navy Blue ceramic would look awesome on it for an art piece, but that would be an expensive finish. Maybe even contrasting base and doors?
I am a bit confused by the peep hole on a door right next to the glass. Yeah, the glass isn't see-through, but you can see enough to know someone is there, and they can see you at the door. Good luck matching a dead-bolt to that beautiful door handle, I sure hope you can.
Nice to see someone doing what I think so many of us would like to if we could all have that "cabin in the woods"
I can still remember mum cooking everything in a wood stove, including pavlova's and sponge cake's.
When I saw the door opening I thought you had it on at the ranch ..... then saw the Christmas lights in the background lol
That is a wood burning cookstove with a hot water tank on it and oven in the middle. You can regulate how much heat goes to some pans by removing an assorted number of the rings in each place. Grew up with one almost like it
I had a flashback of when my father brought home a wood stove and he used it every winter. Great memories.
The door to the right of the oven is the firebox. the subsequent lids above this are the hottest place on the stove and it gets cooler as you travel across the top. There should be a damper to control the heat and channel it both underneath and above the oven. It is very common to have to turn items you are baking in order to get them to cook evenly due to the fact that one side of your oven is hotter than the other. You have to really be a master of fire and temperature control in order to cook on one. It truly is an art form. The box to the left side is the water tank to provide hot water for things like dishes and baths. Looks as if the water tank has been removed from that side and an empty box was left behind.
You're right Jeff they used to have a copper liner in the water tank, they are relatively easy to fabricate from sheet copper, and should be brazed not soldered together.

wood is loaded through the trivet on top, its made as a kitchen stove. I grew up with one. they get hot fast with a small firebox and work ok for heating.
Thats a cool stove. 4 years off grid here, it is worth its weight in gold to have a clear window on the burn box. Sopka wood stoves. We have one, excellent choice.
Coal wants air from the bottom. Some stoves load the wood from the top of the box, and it would make sense that the wood goes in on the opposite side to the flue, so heat can go around the oven and under the cooking surfaces.
I like antiques too
That stove is missing the upper that sits astraddle the oval flue. The round caps near the flue hole was for pipes for a heat exchanger, the bottom tank in the back was heated by the stove and the warmer/hot water would rise up one side through to a coil and tank built into the top. on one or another side you would plumb a tap or faucet to get ready water for cooking, washing, baths etc. Also on the right side when facing the stove front there would have been a cast iron box/attachment for a warming area... It was an option I believe. A family friend in Montana had a 100 year old cabin that we stayed in back in the 60's (before B&B's) when we up there hunting. It had the whole kit and it worked,, supposedly with coal and wood, but the family had run propane to it ... not quite as hot as coal or wood, but it boiled water on the stove top for coffee and kept that cabin warm. We were told it would bake bread and roast meat in the oven box, but my dad just used the warm water for cleaning us up after hunting all day, and made coffee. I will never forget the Great Western Stove Co. casting on the door because for several years my right hand had "Great West..." scarred into it. LOL I think I was 8 or 9 at the time. Thanks for a trip down memory lane.
very nice find on the stoves. We had a wood that was similar but a bit bigger a back on it when I was a kid.
Awesome looking wood burning stove Heath
Really nice stove, my grandmother always cooked on wood stoves. AFAIK, you put the wood in the rectangular top part and there are channels that take hot air around & out the oval chimney. There should be some 'keys' that open & close valves to control the heat. And the center bit is an oven. You can control the heat on the 'burners' by adding/removing the rings. As a side note, I always wanted a house with an Aga stove....
Great video Heath
We had a similar stove at home...in the front is an oven to bake bread and on the left side it is to have hot water tank....it is really neat.
as someone said earlier the fire is opposite the oven in that box with the grate. the only difference i recall between wood and coal stove is the grate on coal stove will rotate and dump off a large clinker other than the missing oven [back?] it looks like a workable piece
You are the lucky soul I have ever seen you have been blessed with the best understanding wife ever she seems to agree with almost all of your ideas, if I bring home half of the stuff you have I will probably have to take it back
Awesome items! Love, love, love the stove!! Cool door and I remember the neighbors had one of those toilets with the tank way up high in the basement. It was fun to pull the rope to flush it!
WOW!!! That stove is EPIC!!! Please restore it. I have a feeling it could be a multipurpose item that you
wondered how you ever lived without when you have it up and going. It's beautiful. Great find friend.
This is the best "unboxing" ever in the history of youtube :) :). Thanks for sharing and God bless. Can't
wait to see more.
Keep up the great work sir... Thanks for sharing your journey with all of us. We will keep you in our prayers. Keep inspired and inspiring others.
Thanks Buddy!
Love the door and old stoves.
Looks like a lot of great finds the stove looks good. It will look great when you get it back together.
Wow!! What an incredible find. Can’t wait to see them restored.
that door is really nice when you carrying you got to carry them on their side and get it about middle ways on your forearm that's how I carry him when I deliver those custom doors
Lucky I'm an old guy. That oval opening is the flue. The stove maybe a wood stove only or coal that will burn wood. Nice find. I need to see the insides, particularly, the firebox. If you have shaker grates that move you are lucky & can burn Nut coal. Restored it is worth a lot! 4k or so.
Nice stove, that oval hole is the start of chimney. Fire burns in the space under the round circle pieces that you cook on.
Right, and the square part is a water well.
It is an oven, It also has an warm water tank. The wood goes on top of it all, underneath the dampers. It looks in good shape.
That stove will happily burn wood, and would make a great backup cooker when needed. Forget the water heater, and just use the rest. Oh, and wood goes in the fancy side door. Drill any cracks, and enjoy.
That is a beautiful stove. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool, thanks for sharing.
Looks neat. Remember no insurance company will cover new wood stove installation without a ul listing. There are some nice new affordable cook stoves on the on the market that are epa exempt. I just put one in on the south end of cache valley if you want to see it.
We love that door. It'll look great on the house. And the wood stove is a winner!
Awesome old stove! I wish I had one!
That's a cast iron wood burning cook stove. Vinegar and elbow grease will remove the rust and restore the iron. All it needs is wood and some matching cast iron cookware.
THAT STOVE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
Awesome find. I really home you can incorporate that stove into to shop house.
Looks like "Family Banquet Stove" around 1880's. This may have 2 fire boxes in it. The rectangle hinged top at left side looks like No grates or It is a wood burning also. Right side lower door is what I need to see inside, actually the front one also. Hope to see shaker grates somewhere, to burn the good cheap coal. Coal usually has fire brick in or around fire box.
That is cool the wood stove looks like it loads from the side
I grew up with Mom cooking on a wood cook stove. Has long as the grates are good you're in business. The large middle door is for baking not sure why it is open on both ends ?. Maybe a part missing though you can make one,just something to hold the heat in. The middle door that is there is missing the temp gauge. You should be able to find a more modern one and make a plate to hold it.
All my best.
Bobby
Lol, the door looks exactly like my in-laws front door on their first home they bought back in 1956.. They purchased the home for 19,000 3 bedroom 2 bath 1400 sq.ft. it's currently now selling for 725,000
Awesome finds. That stove will be great if you restore it. I would venture a guess that the wood would go into the rectangle hopper where you found the other part. Hope you find that out. Thanks for sharing.
That's a beautiful stove. Even if its not the stove you cook on. Great find. :)
That's a great stove!
the smoke goes around the oven and vented out the top , old stoves were both wood and coal and the fire box were smal,
Sweeeet Stove!! I have my grandmothers 8" tiny black stove that looks just like that. I played with it when I was a little girl. I hope you can get it fixed.
LOVE IT THE STOVE IS THE BEST
I hope you can get that stove restored. It looks awesome. You don't see them everyday.
The perfect little stove. The repairs should be easy, accept for that crack. Take a small drill and put a hole at the end of the crack to prevent it spreading any more. A good welder can make the repairs but there is a risk that the crack could become worse.
We always keep water kettle on the stove for humidity but in as much as you have a water tank on yours this alone will keep the house warm and humid during the winter.
That "crack" is not.
If you look, there is a very similar one.
same place, same angle, on the back side.
(Well, similar place, opposite angle.)
steve
Awesome finds! Even if not "fixed up" but just as is for the shop to be heated with, however I bet you and your resourceful self will find a way to make it more than functional. I'm lookin' forward to seeing it installed soon. God speed!
like the stove 👌.
worth restoring 😊
Omg so nice
Awesome score....
Nice finds
This antique stove is beautiful.I hope you are able to use it
If I were in a rural area, you bet in the winter I use that for cooking. Somewhere on the tube is how to convert from wood to pellets even. Heck, I design the house to have a summer kitchen if nice in the summer, here in Phoenix area be pointless. That cook stove looks like a med to mid high grade having a big oven, adjustable burner sizes, and water tank.
Love the wood stove.
That is a beauty, and I rarely if ever see these at the country auctions.
That old of a door may have lead-based paint. I wouldn't dry sand it until all of the paint has been stripped off. It is an awesome door.
I had the same thought
I found one online all cleaned up and they're asking 1,600.00. Has 2 oven doors so you could have it in the middle of the room and walk around it.
Good deals.✅
It's beautiful and it will be great. Good luck!!!
the cooking plates are great to remove if have cast iron. most cast iron pans pots are designed to fit into those plates groves when removed :) esp old school cast iron. easy to clean up cook off the rust season oil them up good and all well. just like that stove. take out side. heat up real hot. cook all rust off. start oiling and it would start looking great just like that :) and then ya get to see it in action :)
If you don't end up using the mop bucket you might find one of the old copper canning tubs for your upper tank, I see them on ebay for 50-100 dollars. Copper would last for ever, and you could solder directly to it with your copper pipes. Would be a really sweet look.
Another idea about mounting the tank to the wall. How about building a really strong shelf from a barn timber or some rough cut 4 x 12, etc...Just sit the bucket or tub on top and drill a hole though the shelf for the pipe to run though. Just a thought.
Nice door. You can burn wood or coal in that stove. Looks like it is missing the back piece to the oven along with the oven grate. We have a old Glenwood wood cook stove and love it.
LOVE THE KITCHEN STOVE ....lucky you
What a beautiful stove!
beautiful kitchen stove, I want to see it restored and in function
That stove restored would be worth a fortune hear in the UK.
Wow! Love the stove. Found your site via comment on Trent & Allie. I’m no going back to watch all the others. Looking forward to seeing your lovely family enjoying the journey.
Great finds, that stove is beautiful sure hope you can find a way to restore it, I do believe the box closest to the flu is wood burn area. But not entirely sure. Enjoying your journey! Blessings...
Beautiful Victorian wood stove. It's going to be gorgeous when fully restored. I am warning people to check with their home insurance providers. before installation. Here in Canada, there seems to be a war on wood stoves by the insurance companies. Either forcing huge insurance premiums or voiding insurance for any home with a wood stove installed. My installation was according to all Federal and Provincial regulations and building codes, but the insurance company said "Nope...Remove it!"
The stove would look really cool as the base of a worktable if it doesn't pan out as a heat source. Paint it black with a nice pine block on top and a vice.
soft cast iron, useless as a work table. breaks too easily.
Lovely stove,it should do just what you want, but it will take a lot of work and it depends on how much time and money you have to put into it. Looks like one of those projects people have in pieces in their shed for years before they get round to it.

Beautiful stove...!
the firebox is on the right. water heater on the left, that is indeed the oven. they work vey well but stovewood is small and a chore. that is a fancy stove and was expensive when new, they usually have an ash tray and agitator. a lot of them had warming boxes attached. considering the quality of this one i imagine its been lost over time. believe me if you ever use it it will heat the whole house when in use
we had a similar family banquette stove when i was young in grandmas farm house. we loaded small blocks of wood on the side with the vents.
middle was bread box. oven. flames went up over the oven. wire brush up and i use them 3m angle cleaning tool pads. and then stove paint :) restored cost more then worth maybe. and kiss theory simple paint restore you get money out of it or use it :) im sure it works fine. oo yeah very end by the stove pipe is a hot plate :) great temp for eggs bacon straight on it. the oil helps. BUT grease fires. so best to use a hotplate on the hot plate. :)
even if the stove is designed for coal, you can always burn wood in it. coal burns hotter than wood. Where i go on vacation every year, there are wood cook stoves there. quite enjoyable to cook on. Oven is a little tricky, but usually just a matter of turning whatever you are cooking.
Love those old stoves! Have restored a couple of the small 2-burner "laundry stove" versions. Remember well, when Mama cooked on a kitchen range version before electric power lines came across our farm. Your's is much more ornate than hers. It had a warming closet above the cooktop. Like yours, it had an oven and a hot water reservoir on one end. One of my earliest chores was to keep her woodbox (behind the stove) filled with kindling and split wood. Mama baked biscuits twice a day in that oven.
I do hope you can restore it. And that you can either fabricate or locate the missing piece of the oven. For that project, it would, IMO, be well worth it to setup an electrolysis tank. (I used a 55 gal plastic barrel with a cut down stainless steel barrel for mine.) Take the stove apart, to the extent you can. Brush/wipe/vacuum with and OLD vac, the accumulated soot. After running parts through the electrolysis tank to remove rust/crud, reassemble using gasket material and stove cement, as needed. Finish off the parts that will not be chromed with a couple of applications of stove black polish.
I hope you can find someone with good castiron welding skills. Many welder's haven't learned this art from the past. For the leg, you may also be able to find a set of replacement legs, if you can't find a spare leg to match yours.
Wish you well, with this project. Hoping you can restore it and return it to a useful life. Breaks my heart to see these repairable treasures turned into "decor", while ruining their original capability.
great :stuff" hope the stove works out for you
I hope you have a good aim when you use that old 'round front' toilet. LOL
Like the idea of the "mop buckjet" systern.
I personally hate round front toilets but they didn't make elongated until a lot later...
Family Banquet stove...approx value $200.00. Details on internet
Super nice find , I seen a few small stoves here in springfield oregon much like that one , look really good after you wire wheel it , then the stove paint it ...
neat neat NEAT!!!!!!
I know a place in About 2 hours from you that can restore that stove. We had one done this summer. Fair priced also.
I think the door would look good painted your favorite front door color too. We had windows and doors like that on our house when I was child and my dad sanded them down and I remember is so very difficult to sand the routered parts of boards around the windows and they are so easy to mess up and sand the rolled edges off flat and destroy them. It is a lot harder than you are thinking to sand down so I think it would be best to just paint it another color you like and it would be a lot faster too. Fancy wood stove. Is that a kitchen stove?
Its a coal or coke range my Great aunt had one in New Zealand, she cooked on it and it warmed her whole house in the city.
cast iron has to be heated before it can be welded. if you know someone with a big enough oven its pretty simple. however the only places i know of are foundaries
Fourteen boxes of Christmas decorations....lol
Told ya!
O MY ,IT LOOKS SOOO COLD!!!!! :-)
I love 💕 your cooker........
