I have a vintage 1907 "Fairmount" from the Leonard & Baker Stove Co, Taunton Mass that i have been using since the 1970's. I found it in absolutely pristene condition, & have been using it every year since. I started out burning wood, but switched to anthracite coal early on. It supplements my heat & saves me a substantial amount of money on my heating bills ! I usually run the stove from Nov - April. I live in southern New York. I love cooking on my old stove as well.

Brightest wood cook stove owner I've, seen. You actually show how to clean it!!! Nobody ever thinks of the inherent smoke and (unwanted) fire damage that can occur when, YOU DON"T BOTHER TO CLEAN THE STOVE. Amazing. Simply Amazing. Thank you for espousing a little common sense. I'll definitely be checking out a few of your other videos.

Your video just saved me a huge service bill. We have had a Queen Atlantic for 10 years, purchased it totally refurbished, and absolutely love it. Cleaned it religiously every year. Started smoking at times through the burners this fall when the oven damper is closed. Thought well maybe an internal crack has developed or something, i was quite disappointed as we would be lost without this stove this winter, or had to limp it along til spring putting up with a little smoke. So fast forward to last night and some how stumbled across your video, you showed the clean out under the oven! Im quite embarrassed to say that i never knew about the clean out under the oven!! It was packed full of course, cleaned it and the Queen is brand new again! Thanks for your video!!

What a informative video, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I recently purchased a refurbished Fairmont (1900-1920) wood burning stove and of course it came with no directions. I cant wait to use it. I did order the cookbook. I do have a question, can one burn treated wood like scrapes from 2X4s?

@notoffthegrid618 3 жыл бұрын

Hi I would not use any pine in your stove,most 2X4s are pine. never use pressure treat wood in any woodstove.The book you ordered will tell you what kind of wood to burn .I only use hard woods like oak ,ash ,maple ect.Safety is always first like having your chimmy inspected and cleaned.I'm sorry for the long winded rant.thank you for viewing my video.

what is the purpose of a draft check? a slide that opens and lets air flow up chimney , reduces draft on fire. also the upper end damper over top of fire what is it's purpose?

@notoffthegrid618 3 жыл бұрын

Yes I never use the draft check so I can,t say .I want a pretty hot fire so I have less build up in my Chimmey.I do use the vent over the fire box sometimes the fire is too hot and will cause the top to turn red.You don't want that to happen will warp the top over the fire box.I open the vent and it allows cooler air over the fire and cools the top.I hope that helps.

I'm restoring a Monarch Malleable. It's black and nickle. I was going to use stove polish but decided to use high temp stove paint. I wanted polish but it's never ending, once a week to be done properly and doesn't add long term protection for the stove. My question to you, is your stove top painted like the rest of your stove or is it seasoned like a cast iron pan? Thanks for any information you can give and making the video on your stove

@notoffthegrid618 Жыл бұрын

Hi,the stove was painted with high temp paint when it was restored.The paint over the fire box has burned off over the years.I now polish the top every week when in use.I have replaced the Herald with a newly restored Union Crawford,the Herald is now in our farm house in New York and I'm considering repainting the top.I may do a video on the Crawford.

@Whitebuffalo44 Жыл бұрын

@@notoffthegrid618 Hello thank you for the speedy reply I appreciate it. I was thinking the paint above the firebox would burn off so I haven't painted it yet. I will polish the top then, if it works for you should work for me. What type of polish do you use? I have Rutland liquid polish readily available but not the paste. I could order in paste however. I tried the liquid on my stove before I decided to paint it with no luck. It simply would adhere. It was clean, I even used acetone to make sure no oil or debris would cause a problem

Yes the plates over the fire box are the hottest ...coolest toward the right side but still hot.You don't have to remove a lid to cook..you can but the pots or pans will get pretty sooty... The tool is called a lid lifter.@@escapematrixenterprisejacq7810
