When John & I got married 37 years ago we bought this wood cook stove.  We were married in an old pre-Civil War house and it had a chimney in the kitchen.  Over the years John built us several homes and we always designed the plans for the kitchen having a place for this cook stove.  Today the power was off for 6 hours, so I got some small wood and started a fire in this baby.  I had potato soup, bacon, and corn bread for lunch.  I wouldn't take anything for this stove.  Thank you John W. Knighting for always thinking ahead.  Love ya.!!
