I have an old Monarch gas / wood stove. I assumed it was wood but after seeing a real wood cookstove the fire box was so much bigger. The gas that the stove used was natural which we attempted to convert to propane. I think, considering the size of the fire box and the natural gas that it was a city stove designed for coal / natural gas. Doesn't mean it can't be used with wood but it takes a lot more vigilance to keep the temp even. Like stoking it every half hour or less. It's a gorgeous stove in blue enamel , white accents, and nickel plated legs. With 4 wood and 4 gas stovetop and a wood oven and in place of a warmer it has a gas oven and gas broiler side by side above. In addition it has a log or probably more accurately , coal lighter as well as pipes to heat water plumbed into firebox. I bought it in a bunch of boxes and some of the sheet metal was shot but the enameled stuff was still intact and the rest i replaced and could see where vents for upper oven and broiler tied into stovetop. Took a few years to put it all back together and was usable but never did get natural gas / propane conversion quite right. Brought the adapters with the tiniest holes for propane but still too big and blackened all my pots. Even brazed over hole entirely and then re drilled with skiny hand drills but never got the kinda flame i wanted out of gas range. Still have the stove but a wildfire burnt everything 15 years ago. I expected the stove to be fine but unfortunately it might have been warped by the extreme temperatures. Haven't rebuilt so i don't have a place to set it up and observe what it needs. Slowly returning back to the way i bought it.
Well that was a little disappointing the title says a completely different content for this video not that it would be Focus solely on one type of stove
Did you make that big fan on the stove? If not, where can we purchase one?

I have a grand comfort kitchen queen 750.. Was hoping to see some content that included that
Great information! Thanks for the video.
Woody thanks 🙏🏼 for your videos and good advice.
How much does it cause
It doesn't. They're discontinued. They come up used every now and then but seem pricey when they do. Like $2000 for a used stove
