More on Gas stoves and some history on gas stoves in general.
The first gas stove was developed on 8 March 1802 by Zachäus Winzler (de), but this along with other attempts remained isolated experiments. James Sharp patented a gas stove in Northampton, England in 1826 and opened a gas stove factory in 1836. His invention was marketed by the firm Smith & Philips in 1828. An important figure in the early acceptance of this new technology, was Alexis Soyer, the renowned chef at the Reform Club in London. In 1841, he converted his kitchen to consume piped gas, arguing that gas was cheaper overall because the supply could be turned off when the stove was not in use.
A gas stove was shown at the World Fair in London in 1851, but it was only in the 1880s that the technology became a commercial success in England. By that stage a large and reliable network for gas pipeline transport had spread over much of the country, making gas relatively cheap and efficient for domestic use. Gas stoves only became widespread on the European Continent and in the United States in the early 20th century.
Early gas stoves were rather unwieldy, but soon the oven was integrated into the base and the size was reduced to fit in better with the rest of the kitchen furniture. In the 1910s, producers started to enamel their gas stoves for easier cleaning.
One of the important properties of a gas stove is the heat emitted by the burners. Usually, burner heat is specified in terms of BTUs (British Thermal Units) and represents the heat produced in one hour. Often, a gas stove will have burners with different heat output ratings. For example, a gas cooktop may have a high output burner, often in the range of 10,000 to 20,000 BTU, and a mixture of medium output burners, 5,000 to 10,000 BTU, and low output burners, 3,000 BTU or less. The high-output burner is suitable for boiling a large pot of water quickly, sautéing, and searing, while the low-output burners are good for simmering.
Some high-end cooktop models provide a higher range of heat and heavy-duty burners that can go up to 20,000 BTU or even more. Depending on the type of cooking you do, the higher heat capability burners can be either beneficial or a complete waste of money.
(What BTU Stands For
BTU is an acronym. It stands for British Thermal Unit. It’s a form of measurement that measures energy. One BTU refers to the amount of energy that’s required to increase the temperature of a pound of water by 1° F. It is most frequently used when talking about heating and air conditioning units.) #ASMR

I really enjoyed the plating.
За то что у тебя есть пескоструйная установка, а с ней ты очень хорошо очистить детали газовой плиты, я тебе поставлю лайк и скажу спасибо за ролик.
That was a pile of greasy nastiness! Kudos to you for being brave enough to tackle that - without wearing gloves! Where did you find the fourth leg?
I had to salvage one off another broken stove. I forgot to mention it in the video during the editing.
@@AJRestoration … amazing that you found one that exactly matched the three you had. Great job on the restoration!
That end, the true Fire Bender
Hahaha I am the first firebender, I have perfected the skill.
Great work. I was cringing over the grease and you bring back the fire pit degreaser to save that sand blaster media from a greasy mess 😀
It was kinda gross right?
It's sad how people treat there things, but you have made this amazing.
I don't think this was ever cleaned.
Good morning from Southeast South Dakota
Hello there buddy!
Excellent restoration 👍👍👍Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦
Thanks, you too!
Nice piece. I now need to go polish my stove for reasons beyond my ken.
You should! Hahaha
What a good-looking old school stove always liked how they used brass nowadays horrible choices of color and metals.
The brass really looks great I have to admit!
BETTER THAN NEW!!!

Beautiful restoration AJ good job
Thank you very much buddy!
Muito bom !
Chia sẽ rất hữu ích cảm ơn bạn chia sẽ ❤
That was a beautiful job. It's so satisfying to DIY. You were missing a leg , was it easy to find another ?
Very nice 👍🏻
Thank you 👍
Very nice!
Thanks buddy!
احسنت عمل جميل ❤❤
That is looking rusty and tired but it is in your hands and will be back in a great looking working order
Thank you for the great comment buddy!
@@AJRestoration anytime young man 👍😎
Nice restoration but I think you should have set the whole thing in a tub of hot soapy water to soak off some of the old grease before disassembly. Other than that the work was good. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the tip!
I probably would have soaked the cast iron in lye to eat away at the grease, but fire is always an option.
I always think fire first, then other methods hahaha. Lye would probably also work great.
I was wondering how you were going to get all that cooked-on gunk off. My grandmother did the same thing when her cast iron skillets got too crusty on the outside. We lived in a small town and could burn leaves in the fall. She put the skillets in the burning leaves, then washed and re-seasoned them. Good as new for a few more years. Great job on that stove.
The burning works like a charm!
Good video as we don't repair things anymore, we just trash it and buy another. What was the solution used on the burner in another of your videos?
Its a product from a local company, I am not sure on the chemicals used but one I could identify was acetone.
What is the black stuff you are scrapping? black rust?
That was oil and grime that dried out with time.
Wonderful restoration!
Would you please tell us what chemical product did you use in the cast iron parts, so they got that black mate colour?
Thank you very much!

only the reducer is a little weak for this stove.😊
Haha yes it is a little restrictive.
So, did you make another leg or did you buy one? Curious.
Also wondering!🤔
I forgot to mention it in the video, I had a second broken stove I salvaged for the missing leg.
Is it burning natural gas or butane etc. ???
It can burn both. If its a flammable gas suitable for cooking it will work.
Where did the missing leg come from??
was wonderinig that myself.
My thoughts as well, would have been good to see how you made that.
I had to salvage one from another broken stove. I meant to put that in the video
👍👍😘😘
👍👍
did you have to source a missing leg?
Yes, I forgot to mention it in the video, I had a second broken stove I salvaged for the missing leg.
Wenn ihr nicht die notwendige sachkunde habt, lasst die Finger von Gasgeräten !
Why did they quit making stuff like this from cast? Because it costs more and it lasts too long, They need people to buy, use, and dispose of, to keep the "chain" moving. Filling up our landfills with junk. Why aren't the "green Wheenies" bitching about this? Because companies pay them to NOT say anything and to target some other company. Cool videos dude, I enjoy watching them, It reminds me of the 60s when I was a kid and these burner stoves were new.
Its all about planned obsolescence, This stove will last another lifetime (I hope).
Did anyone wonder where the 4th leg came from? Or, is it my OCD?
I had to salvage one off another broken stove. I forgot to mention it in the video during the editing.
@@AJRestoration thanks. I was starting to twitch pretty bad. 😅
Yes we're do you faint the 4leg
Flame is very less though.
Its a stove, not a cutting torch ;-)

Starting of Servicing without showing Stove in its condition is not Right for Viewers to understand video.
does any one else say ewwww when he is taking such gummy icky things apart?
When I did the editing i was like eew the entire time.
Too many slow panning shots. Why keep showing closeups of parts we've already seen you remove? Waste of time. And what was all that gummy gunky stuff all over the stove parts? Other than that, nice to see the stove actually returned to good use.
That gummy stuff is old fat and grease from the previous owner's cooking.
I like the pacing. Too many channels are going fast-cut to appease the algo (ahem, LADB).
Take a dopamine fast for a week and try again, you might be surprised.
You used undersized nuts, bolts & washers to fasten the legs. All the other fasteners that you used were inappropriate. You put countersink screws on parts that have a flat surface instead of a countersunk opening. Know your hardware... 👎
If it fits it sits. ;-)
I would wear some gloves with this stuff. Very good restoration by the way. Greetings from Spain
Thank you very much!
