Hello from our working farm in Central Lakes Region New Hampshire. Your choice of an Irish Stanley was a good one. I recommend that stove to anyone who is tight on floor space and it does a great job for cooking and heating. I restored our great uncle's 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove. Its a beauty and heats 1,000 square feet. We built our 2016 home and designed the kitchen around that stove. I find it amazing you feel you need to justify having a cook stove. We built our house to be both on and off-grid. New Hampshire can be harsh in the winter. We lose power and our wood stove is a Godsend. Being a farm , we log and have plenty of firewood. We like the 1940s lifestyle ~ Diane
Thank you so much for going into detail about all the features and how to use the stove. This video was super helpful for us as we navigate our antique Waterford cook stove! Cheers!
We purchased our Waterford Stanley brand new February 2007 from Lehman’s Hardware in Kidron, OH. Best investment we have ever made. Heats our entire home, besides cooking and baking our meals. Ours is deep dark green stove with warming oven and two side shelves. When we have passed our hope is our children will pass our rural home and Irish cook stove to one of our grandchildren.
@@patrickclark9909 Very Nice! Yours has all the bells and whistles! I do think the shelves on the side would be handy. I think I have seen them with a hot water reservoir. Thanks for watching!
I have a Stanley errigal here in ireland it's almost identical,but it has a u9 boiler to heat 9 radiators I fire it with peat harvested from a peat bog two miles away in the summer it does cooking baking boiling water the lot.
We have a Rayburn, the Stanley's English cousin and love it so. Ours has a boiler wrapped around the firebox so it runs out hot water + wet underfloor system
I’m 55 I learned to cook on my great grandmother’s wood stove she thought the electric stove would catch the house on fire lol. Great memories and the food does taste better
The coffee grinder is definitely cool. I could imagine the stove in a cabin and waking up at sunrise to make a cup of coffee before a hard day's work. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for doing this video with the stove. It helped us understand the parts we were missing from our own Stanley 8 Range that is in the derelict farmhouse we have recently purchased in Ireland.
Great video. My mother used a wood cook stove for close to 25 years. She prepared three meals a day for a family of 14. She was more than happy to begin using an electric stove. She commented it was easy to cook with stove. However, it was a skill to be mastered to bake with a wood burning stove.
There is absolutely a learning curve when it comes to baking..... maintaining the fire to keep a desired temperature and then rotating the dish frequently so it cooks evenly! We made a loaf of bread in the oven yesterday because our electric oven failed!
We have a Stanley Waterford cook stove in our off grid cottage. In our home is a Margin Gem - about 4 years old but it replaced a Belanger Excellent that is pushing 100. It wasn’t junked. Still going on a friends Christmas tree farm. We have had a wood cook stove in the house since 1976 when we bought this home. I’ve been cooking on wood stoves since my boyfriend (husband now) took me to visit his coworker at his cottage in 1970. Didn’t grow up with a wood stove though.
Does your Stanley have the "bread warmer" and the side shelves? I know those were available upgrades for the stoves... I think the shelves on the sides would be handy for pulling things off the heat.
Thank you so much Dan, that was really interesting and enjoyable. I love all things old too. Just found your channel so I'll stop a while if that's okay. Greetings from a little market town in North Wales UK. 🙋♂🙋♂
OMG! A Dobermann! I so envy you. We always had Dobermanns but they have all gone now. Love to have a couple more but I’m thinking we are getting too old to ensure we’d be around long enough.
She has been such a good dog! I very much recommend them to anyone undecided on a larger breed. She does very well with our children and even our chickens and ducks!
Thank you for this demonstration! So wondering if parts for this stove are still available, I have this stove in my cabin in Alaska, I believe the company stopped producing this stove in 2018?
We just bought a waterford cookstove just like this. So nice to see others with the same stove and to see how she operates. Where did you find the percolator?
I had been searching for a percolator and found this one on eBay. It matched the stove perfectly so I had to buy it! Thanks for watching and enjoy your new stove!
Hi Dan…..Thank you for this demonstration…..I have this stove in my cabin in Alaska, it was purchased in the 80’s, I believe, by the previous owners of the cabin…….do you know if they are still selling parts for this stove…thank you. Also where can I purchase the fan?
So I know when I did a Google search for "Stanley Waterford Parts" there were a few parts available but not many. The Fan I purchased from eBay, just search "Heat Powered Stove Fan" should be able to get one for around $30. Thanks for watching!
We see different antique stoves for sale regularly on Facebook and Craigslist. However, it's hard to judge condition by photographs. If I was to purchase a new one I had considered the Pioneer Princess. Not sure of the Canadian availability though. Thanks for watching!
Hello. Just found your channel and I'm thoroughly stoked. Where can I get a coffee percolator like that and that coffee grinder is awesome! Is it still available and where can I get something like that? Oh and I've subscribed to your channel!
The percolator I purchased off eBay. There is a pile of them on there I was looking for one to match my stove. The coffee grinder was a gift from my Dad. I'm not sure where he found it. They can be found on eBay as well I do believe. Thanks for subscribing!
Thanks! I have no clue on the brand of percolator... I found it on an eBay auction and it matched the stove so I had to have it haha. Works great! Thanks for watching!
Yes it drafts excellent. No smoke at all when opening the door. 6" stove pipe straight up and out the roof! Single wall pipe on the interior of course, and then triple wall exterior. I had read an article regarding the importance of triple wall exterior, it keeps the pipe insulated and holds the temperature. Supposedly a cooling outside pipe will hinder draft results. Previously I thought the triple wall was just to help prevent from rusting out but apparently there is more to it....
You be better using coal and timber together because the coal temperature is very high. From Ireland. We would use a bit of coal with timber especially if we are cooking. And before going to bed just to keep the cottage warm. Because these cottages are made of stone. Iove my Stanley
Im building m home and one to install one but someone warned me about the smoke these stoves produce. Is the smoke unbearable and does it ruin the whole house?
@@melmel7011 if a stove is working properly is shouldn't smoke at all. This particular stove pipe drafts very well. Doesn't even puff smoke when opening the door to refuel. My coal furnace on the other hand is a different story haha. It puffs every time I open it!
I'd say you could begin cooking on it in about 20min no problem. Probably faster I am just "spitballing" Far as baking in the oven I would GUESS round 45min to an hour.... I really should pay closer attention. I cook on it much more often then bake.

Good video

Thank you very much for watching. Hope to find time to film some cooking on the stove this winter!
Cant beat the wood cook stove.
I love it! Thanks for watching!
Grew up with them, all the best from Ireland
Very helpful! Would love to have one.

Thank you for this demonstration! So wondering if parts for this stove are still available, I have this stove in my cabin in Alaska, I believe the company stopped producing this stove in 2018?
My mother used to rub wax paper on her hot wood stove to make it shine and protect the metal.
I have never heard of this! Sounds like a good idea though! Thanks for commenting

I love antiques too, I'm not sure we can get the Waterford in Canada, only dealer I found doesn't sell them any more.

very nice. technically, isn't it a multifuel cookstove?
Yes from what I have read Stanley makes a different set of firebox inserts that allows the use of coal

Dan you said it drafts well, is it a 6 inch flue or an 8 inch flue? Straight up no elbow?
Yes it drafts excellent. No smoke at all when opening the door. 6" stove pipe straight up and out the roof! Single wall pipe on the interior of course, and then triple wall exterior. I had read an article regarding the importance of triple wall exterior, it keeps the pipe insulated and holds the temperature. Supposedly a cooling outside pipe will hinder draft results. Previously I thought the triple wall was just to help prevent from rusting out but apparently there is more to it....
Can this replace a log fire in a room? Does it give enough radiant heat?
Oh my yes... whichever room the stove is in will have an excellent secondary heat source.
My question is what does your insurance company say about the wood heat and cook top?
I have never inquired with them about it...
Nice Stove! Will that run on coal as well?
It can run on coal but there are different grates you are supposed to purchase and install that are designed for a coal fire. Thanks for watching!
You be better using coal and timber together because the coal temperature is very high. From Ireland. We would use a bit of coal with timber especially if we are cooking. And before going to bed just to keep the cottage warm. Because these cottages are made of stone. Iove my Stanley
That cabinet and oil lamp look to ne awfully close to the gire nox side of the stove. Thought it was 36" from any burnable surfac
How many of you folks have a wood cook stove in your home and what make is the stove?
I'm looking for one asap for our outdoor kitchen!
@@Mikedenton541 we found this one at a thrift store down the road. $500 I thought was a good buy!
Im building m home and one to install one but someone warned me about the smoke these stoves produce.
Is the smoke unbearable and does it ruin the whole house?

@@melmel7011 nonsense,,you do need a good draft,
Hi how long does it take to get up to a decent temperature.
I'd say you could begin cooking on it in about 20min no problem. Probably faster I am just "spitballing" Far as baking in the oven I would GUESS round 45min to an hour.... I really should pay closer attention. I cook on it much more often then bake.
20 minutes with the right fuel and they will have to scrape you off the back wall ,
