I finished my stove!

I finished putting my stove back together this past Friday. It's in my kitchen and I can't stop looking at it. It's been a long wait. I bought the stove this past June and did a 100% rehab on it- rechroming, cleaning, replacing broken parts and reinsulating the thermowell, the oven and the oven door. I took me a couple of hours to adjust the burners and pilots and I haven't stopped cooking yet. I baked corn bread in the thermowell, it came out perfect. My Chambers stove replaced my Maytag that was only a couple of years old. The Maytag was repaired twice and needed to be fixed again. I just couldn't do it. I put alot of money into my "new" stove, but I wanted something that was going to last. I have a feeling that this stove will out live me.

Congratulations! I know first hand what hard work that was. I can only imagine what it's like to actually cook on one of these old stoves.

Got any photos?

Well, aren't you just a lean mean clean machine...

I probably wish mine was in top notch condition also, but I am afraid that is beyond us now. CONGRATULATIONS...

Now put your money where your mouth is and post your corn bread recipe...Please... Did you use buttermilk? I needed to make some for New Years and don't have buttermilk...V I am really happy for you

It is a great feeling to get it done. I do have some pictures but I still have to get some film developed, I don't have a digital camera yet. The corn bread recipe is in the Idle Hour cookbook. Follow the recipe for the thermobaker. It doesn't use buttermilk.

Thanks Bill, for Corn Bread referral, My sister in law just said they were coming over from camping on Inks Lake w/no TV/ABC reception, with chili in hopes of watching the Rose Bowl...so corn bread it is...V
