Very nice stove! Thanks for the review, I like cooking on them the most
We have the exact same stove. We love it. Our Amish friends gave us a tip to use armor all on the top so it is easier to clean.
Wow, thank you.. great tip
@@LifeDoneFree absolutely. It smells weird on first burn after but it really helps keep it clean
This is the best review on TH-cam of the kitchen queen!!! Thinks for showing the down and dirty.
You are so welcome! I'm happy you found it useful.
Hello from our farm in Central ⛵⛵ Lakes Region New Hampshire. Thanks for the great demo. I had originally intended to purchase the smaller model of the Kitchen Queen as we have a 1,000 square foot house with 500 square feet of open kitchen and living room area. My brother-in-law gave us great uncle Robert's 1930 Home Comfort. It sat in a cabin next to our dairy barn for a good 40 years. I cleaned up the cook top and it works great for us. We named her Matilda as she is like having another person in the kitchen. We designed our 2016 home to be partially off grid, with solar in mind for later. I am new to your channel and look forward to following your videos ~ Diane
Diane, thanks for stopping by. We love our stove. Bee cooks all of our food with it ( in the winter ) . Sounds like you scored with Matilda. Thanks for sharing.
We loved the cream and speckled colored enameled body of our Home Comfort woodcook stove with the cast iron top. The top of the stove had so many round lid openings one could lift up.
It had a huge fold out shelf on the right side of the stove and another flat shelf above the fold out big shelf that the cats loved to sit on.
It had warming ovens with fold down insulated doors. Our cats loved those and the warming area.
love
May I make a suggestion? Take a fine mist water sprayer and as you pull out the ash, mist spray the water over the entire ash pan and opening and it will cut down on the flying particles. Then you can take a towel and dry all the wet surfaces and because it is such a fine mist, it isn't a whole lot of water and will dry right away when you put the pan back into its spot under the fire. Thank you for a wonderful video.
Jan, thank you. We will try it
I grew up with vintage woodcook stoves. We lifted the circular lids, placed a nice cast iron skillet or cast iron dutch oven on the flames, got a good browning of food. We never worried about the black bottoms of pans. Sadly, it looks like the holes are not placed above the fire in this stove.
I also liked the vintage stove better with the warmer oven doors folding out instead. The fold out doors of the warming area were about an inch thick, so often not too hot for our cats to sit on. Our cats loved sitting on the fold out doors when the stove was warm to cooler.
One hole is, we don't use it for that but maybe we should try. Thank you
This is one of three woodcook stoves that I am looking at. First off, I need a 6 inch flue and reburning technology.
Heco 520, the Margin FlameView, and this Kitchen Queen 750.
In your vid, I see the left most big round lid you take off. It looks like it's not exposed to full open flames.
Thanks! 😊😮
We chose this one because of the reburner. We also lo9ked at several others
Yes, that's why it is on my list. Reburner tubes or vents in the firebox to reburn gases. Margin Fireview, and Heco 520 also have reburning technology.
Thank you for this video. Very informative. Gives someone thinking of getting one a few pointers on how to use this beauty.
You are so welcome!
Every little thing she does is magic magic magic!
I've had some learning to do that is for sure. Still not perfect. Did your son make it home?

Thank you for sharing the information in such detail.
My mother used a wood cook stove for nearly thirty years. She was more than ready to abandon wood for electricity.
She cooked three meals a day for my father and ten of siblings everyday.
I’m sure she would have loved cooking using your stove.
She commented on occasion, learning to use a wood stove was easy. However, it was a skill in mastering the regulating the temperature. Especially, with baked goods.
Again, much appreciation for the time and effort in making this video.
Best regards !
Robert, 10 siblings....wow. that a huge task
Bee there is special scrubbies that you can buy especially for stainless steel I use to cook at a nursing home and at the end of my shift we had to clean the top of the stove and it didn't leave scratch marks
Thanks for the tip!
Turn the hole to the five o'clock position and I think you will find it easier to lift the cover. Put the tool in from the edge towards the center.
Maybe. I will try that. Thanks 😊
Yes, we had the lifter holes always closest towards us.
Thank you so much for your video. It’s been 35 years since I had the opportunity to work with a stove like that and I was trying to remember how everything works. Trying to make the decision to make it or buy one.
You are very welcome
My wife Jennifer commented earlier , but I [Donnie]watched also and really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much
Thank you for showing us that beauty! One of the best tutorials I've seen.
Gotta share!
Glad you liked it Pat👍
Love the detailed video. Would love more like this, even about simple off grid kitchen tools. Is the fridge off grid?
Thank you. Our fridge is a regular LG fridge. We specifically found one that used the least amount of electricity so our solar system would be able to power it with no troubles.
Thanks for another wonderful and informative video!
Thanks for watching. Bee loves her stove
Try bar keepers friend to clean that off of the.cook stove. Or you can use pure lemon essential oil. You would be amazed at what that oil can clean.
Thanks for the tip!
Great tutorial! Love the woodstove. If ever there were a time I’d recommend a mask, it would be while cleaning the creosote from below the oven. That creosote was airborne.❤❤❤
Yeah, the ash gets everywhere. We have an air purifier in the kitchen for that exact reason. I Usually don't do it on such a windy day, It's usually not that bad.
@@LifeDoneFree Thank you for the tutorial. I suspect that you only use the oven bypass when you actually want to use the oven? Finding an answer to that question is amazingly difficult. I have the Kitchen Queen Hearth Master 240 (the smallest of the Kitchen Queen wood cook stoves). The Grand Comfort with the glass firebox door was what drew me to these stoves. But even the smallest model (480) is too large for my space. The 240 doesn't have a glass door on the fire box. Do you find you look at that much? Also, did you not order the summer grate for yours?
@@Growmap yes, we only use the by pass when cooking. I love the glass door. i look at it everyday. i dont know what the summer grate is.
@@LifeDoneFree That is the one thing that isn't available on the Kitchen Queen Hearth Master. I knew that when I ordered it, but still sad about it.
Some claim that it is hotter to stand in front of the stove if you have a glass fire box door than a metal fire box door. I imagine that varies by stove.
On the Hearth Master, the air flow controls are on the firebox door. They said they are considering offering a glass door later. They're easy enough to swap out if they do and I decide I want to spend the money to get one.
A kitchen grate for a Kitchen Queen stove is a metal grate with fold-out legs that you can insert into the fire box.
So in the summer, you can build a small fire close to the cooking surface and cook without generating nearly as much heat.
I expected them to put slides in the firebox, but it is freestanding. So anyone could buy one or have one made. It sounded like such a great idea given I live in SE Oklahoma where most of the year isn't cold.
Good morning Bee 🐝 thank you for the tutorial of a wood stove this video you did has alot of info especially for beginners thank you for such an indepth I really enjoyed it take care stay safe and God bless
Thank you! You too! 🥰
Thanks for taking time to do this video!! Really enjoyed it. I’d love to have one someday. God Bless
You are welcome, Thanks for watching!
love the stove love video great information and very nice JEANS.
Thanks so much!
Thanks for this video...I needed all this information to consider my savings start and how long it will take me. TY!
Glad it was helpful!
Also, the blue scrubbbies don't scratch as badly as the green.
I'll look into blue ones. I haven't seen them b4, thanks
Bee your cookstove video is great . can you do me one favor ? when the lid is removed , can you tell me the diameter of the hole in the cooktop ?? thanks
Thank you so much. The hole is 10 inched accross
I got this stove 2 years ago and have had it in storage while I build our family log cabin.. The roof will go on in the next week so it will be time to unearth the stove and hook it up.. This was helpful as I get geared up to use it.. We forgot the dimension of the oven and haven't wanted to take the packaging off to check.. What size cookie sheets can go in oven?
The oven inside is 17" w X 20" deep
And there are 2 racks
@@LifeDoneFree thank you for the response
Thanks for the tutorial on the stove. I wonder if the fan wld work in conjunction with a fireplace in the same manner.
Yes it will. We use them on our fireplace
Have you had any experience operating a pressure canner on that wood stove or any other woodstove.
I pressure can on our gas stove at home, but we have a more remote property with a wood cook stove. Is canning on a wood cook stove practical and safe? Also is there space enough to operate two pressure canners and keep them at the right temperature?
Yes I have, the challenge is just keeping it hot enough. With the wood stove there are hot and cold spots. I have never tried running 2 of them but, I would think you could if you were there to babysit it.
Nice stove,,,but u didn't really explain how to use the oven,,,do u have to transfer the heat to the oven,,,just wondering how that works,,,can u explain that
Tommy , there is a valve on the right side of the stove that let's the heat surround the oven. These are other levers or valves that let you control the temperature. I hope this helps
What make is this stove,?
Hey Paul, its a Kitchen Queen, grand comfort 750.
😢
Fty.
