    found this on the "list" and $100 later she has a new home! This winter I will completely tear her down and restore her inside and out so she can start life anew in the hand hewn cabin I am building in Idaho.

    Sma, I'm +1 with Tetley, Congrats on an amazing find!! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
    That is impressive on many levels. My 1st glance at OP I thought it was a kero wick stove (gravity fed) but it's a huge liquid fuel pressure stove? Kero-fueled might be nice but I'm wondering if it burns white gas (in 1929 gas from the pump)?
    We've seen some impressive old AGM burners and of those, this from what I recall, is right up there w/the most impressive. For me it's those burners! and how the fuel is pressurized, distributed and vaporized to it's 4 burners BUT clearly

    the entire stove/oven is a beauty to behold !!!

    Flame shots will be fantastic and if there is ever a time you expose / access more of "the works"... it would be nice to see the assembly of the 3 burners (too big to fit in one image!) and oven burner. It's a marvel of vaporization and begs the stovie question "how" did they do it? (rhetorical).

    My impression from ad (thx Trevor) is it's uses included a ca "1929" kitchen, indoor use (directions may say have window(s) open while in-use?).
    At any rate you're building a cabin w/modern construction, ventilating fumes may be a consideration.
    Similar kero wick stoves are still very much in-use but iirc not suggested for modern (weather-sealed structures) "indoor" use.
    AWESOME stove, thx omc

    Ok, I meant that to be a congratulations on such a great deal. I'd have paid twice or more for such an excellent find. Hailing from Bonneville county!

    Have a great day!

    I certainly don't think you're implying that I actually purloined the stove.

    Certainly not a kerosene stove. As the advert says, '. . . . by converting gasoline into a clean burning, low cost fuel gas of exceptionally high heat value . . . . '

    It is a beautiful looking range and hopefully will work like new.

    It's in superb condition, so you've surely not got a huge task ahead of you there.

    Am I right in thinking Coleman's equivalent was known as a 'cabin stove'? Very appropriate.

    It certainly looks an awful lot like Colemans cabin stove. The main difference being the oven. Functionally it's the same thing for sure.
