    Those burner covers often burned through, thus is not unusual to see two diff kinds, when they were replace with a different burner cover. In your pictures, it looks llike both are the same? One with some damage.
    These stoves often "underburn" where the flame, instead of being above the burner, is burning below the burner. Which ruin burner covers.

    Hi Majicwrench
    This cover appears to have been struck twice in the stamping press. It has not been burned though. Do you know of anyone that might have a cover? Thanks for helping Jack and also me!

    A burner cover is gonna be a rare thing, am sure somebody has one however.
    Your cover looks quite functional.

    Yes Majicwrench it burned perfectly at my brothers house when he was so excited to lite it the day he gave it to me because he didn’t want to refinish the stove! We are both perfectionist and ocd! I would like to find a cover to match the other one. Just for looks maybe. Is there a mark or number somewhere on the stove that indicates a 2A,2B,
    2C, etc. I am retired, don’t go
    South for the winter and have
    Too much time to think of some of these things!

    Hello Majicwrench me again!
    I’ve read in one of your posts
    that you made a rack for the oven. From pictures I can see a
    steel plate over the burners.
    Have you ever baked anything
    in the oven? I hope to make some biscuits!!!

    Oh gosh yes they bake stuff just fine. The plate over the burner--I think they call a diffuser----it's to keep the flames from scorching the bottom of whatever you are cooking. It does not need to be anything fancy. I have plans for the rack if you would like them

    I recently made a rack for my No.2. I made it as close to an original as I could with the material I had. Also a diffuser... Not sure why these are always missing... Maybe folks forget how they were stowed away?

    Hello again,
    Starting to feel like talking to an old friend! I could use the plans for the rack, but it will be some time before I am ready to bake something. I would like to remove the oven parts from the main case which would make cleaning and painting much easier. I’m not there yet.
    Have a great weekend and Thanks again

    That all looks great! I’m a retired shop teacher and I
    just need pictures and sizes.
    Did you also make the stand?
    If you have a picture of your stove all set up I would enjoy seeing it. Sending 2 pictures of previous projects. 805F5318-5D58-435C-AB5E-E492B5FE9ABA.jpeg 19E7E45E-737B-4269-9A7F-0CBA83E2E784.jpeg
