Donnie, I'm 73 now, your videos really take me back. My Gramdma over in Clinchport, VA lived to be 98. She lived alone the last 20 years of her life, heated with the kitchen stove and a coal fireplace. Cut kindling up into her 90s. My Granddaddy in Duffield heated his old-timey country store with an old potbelly stove. Man, that thing would get red hot! Thanks for another fine video. We can tell you put a lot of work into them. Stay warm.

I am 77 years old , I remember very well my Mamaw's old wood burning kitchen stove. I can remember hearing her in the kitchen stoking it with wood before daylight when I was a child. I would still be in bed. Before long you could smell the aroma of sausage or bacon and I would get up and watch her . She would also be making buicuits, she pinched them off and rolled them between her hands. She also would make the best gravy. Oh how I wish I could go back to that special time, well I at least have my memories. ❤😊. Thank you Donnie, this started my day with a wonderful memory. ❤

This is exactly as I remember it too! I am also in my 70’s … but when I was about 5 yrs old I too remember the old iron cook stove that Mamy would cook on. 🌸

[@nolies9071]

This was so good to wake up to and watch. Im 48 years old, live here in Alabama and even at 48 i remember my great grandparents had a stove like this and it just felt so comfortable. Even my grandparents had a little heater that didn't warm the whole house too good, they used space heaters a lot. But I can tell you this much, i miss it and I miss them. Always felt at home, never felt like you weren't wanted. Only thing I can think that will even be close to those old feelings again is Heaven. Happy New Year 🎊 and God Bless 🙏🏻

What a fond childhood memory this video brings back. I could not wait to go stay with my grand parents on their old farm. House was built in 1887, would sleep on an old iron feather bed with a hand made quilt heavy enough to sink a battle cruiser. Pawpaw would wake me up early to help him with the cows and when we was done memaw would have baked up some biscuits, and we would step through that back kitchen door to this warm and wonderful smell and those biscuits. Some of the best memories from my childhood are from my times around that breakfast table in that old farmhouse.

Hey Donnie, I have a friend that lives about a mile up the road. He has a summer kitchen with a wood cook stove in the yard for his wife, and two wood cook stoves in the house. His wife sure knows how to cook and bake with those old stoves. Yes, they are all antiques.

Well at 71 I still heat my home with an old Buck stove. And on occasions like New Year day the wife fixes our traditional beans and cabbage and put a ham in a Dutch oven and I'll wrap some big ole potatoes in foil and put in by the fire , boy there ain't nothing tastes any better and we're set for the good fortune for the new year. Now that we've gotten older we invested in a pellet stove as a backup such as at night so as I don't have to get up during the night if I don't want to but old habits still gets me up and will stoke up the wood burner. Just ain't nothing more cozier. Speaking of stoking up the stove it's been about 5 hours now and it's time to stoke it up and put on some tea ☕. Well kinfolk y'all have a blessed day and happy New Year. Thanks Donnie for that bit of history, I still look at the new stoves every time I'm around the area Amish store it's always a fun place to shop.🙏

Many homesteaders still use wood cook stoves. Sometimes that is because they're off the grid. But many are on grid and still use them for heating and cooking. The modern wood cook stoves are fuel efficient and can easily burn 12 hours so you don't have to get up and add wood.

Good morning Mr. Laws. I sure enjoyed watching! When I was a kid my Pa and Granny lived in a four room house that he built. They didn’t have running water, but they carried it in the old water pails. They heated the house with an old Warm Morning coal stove. He worked at the Box factory in Chatsworth Ga. Building boxes and pallets for shipping. He would get the end pieces and scraps where he squared the boards and burned these along with coal to heat that old house. Great memories! Thank you Sir! He also taught me to love the Lord. He showed himself to be a pattern of good works! I appreciate you and what you stand for!🙂❤️✝️ I also consider you to be a pattern of good works and a great light!

of happiness to remember my mammy cooking on her old iron stove. (in your video. There’s one like it at the 7:07 minute mark). Although it was hard work to keep one going, especially on cold days, I sure wish I had one of those stoves. On my Dad’s side of the family they had a big coal stove that heated the whole house. I was there one day when a coal truck came with a big load of coal and poured it down the coal chute in through the basement opening. Something about your channel makes me yearn for the old simple days. Thank you 🙏

Loved this, cousin Donnie! My mother cooked for years on a kerosene stove, but when we went to grandmother's, we ate from a wood-burning stove. My grandmother made a lot of shortening bread, and it was tops! She churned her own butter, and that shortening bread, topped with that butter, would absolutely melt in your mouth! At eighty years old, now, I doubt I'll ever eat another meal from a wood-burning stove, but the memories are mighty sweet. Wishing you and yours Shabbat Shalom, dear cousin. G-d bless each and every one, and please continue to pray Psalm 122:6.

Mr Donnie, my grandmother had a iron stove that she cooked on and use the heat to warm the house. In winter we would open the oven door and rest our cold feet on it and dry our gloves and socks also. In the fifties we had a furnace in the cellar that used coal. My Dad would feed it before he went to work. I liked to watch the coal being delivered through the cellar window by a Shute.

In the winters of 77 and 78, I was a kid. We had a Fisher wood stove for heat. For both of those winters, we had long-lasting power outages. We used that stove to melt water for toilets and heat it for baths and to cool with. I also had a relative with a coal stove. Now THAT was heat. He got his coal out of a bank from a hill behind his house.

I am 80 years old. I was born in Upstate NY and lived in various rent houses that my family owned. We used wood, coal and kerosene to heat and to cook with. We saw an era out. My mom cooked on a wood stove. Running water in the kitchen came from a handpump plumbed into a dug well just outside the kitchen. My grandfather was wealthy and lived a very different life. When he passed, early in my childhood, we moved into an entirely different lifestyle. The early memories do last.

Thanks for sharing your memories. Those are very special times indeed.

Donnie have you ever watched The Early American and Frontier Patriot you tube channels? A couple lives off the grid in a cabin and they depict what it was like to live in the early 1800's. Justine does her cooking in a fireplace using recipes from that time period. She's very good at it. Lord knows how she's able to to cook her meals during the summer 🥵🌡️

Hey Donny, when I was in my 20s I rented a little stone/wood cabin that had 3 stoves! One of them was a beautiful cookstove😍. I worked in the restuant on a Ski mountain so I wasn't home much but, when I had company we cooked hamburgers and fries and I even cooked a Turkey when it was -60🥶! Wouldn't that pile have been welcoming 🎉. I've split and stack a many of cord of wood myself 💪🔥! Thanks 😊. JO JO IN VT 💞☃️

[@donnielaws7020]

Thanks for sharing your memories! You've got a great story there, JoJo.

[@tinahammond4438]

Thank you for this video...I live in maine, 54 years old...I grew up splitting , stacking, and carrying firewood. There are so many times the power goes out, I'll never live anywhere without a wood stove. Last year we used the oil fired furnace, with a short supply of firewood ( emergency use). We spent around $2300. In oil, and our light bill around $400. Per month 4 months of winter...This year we use our woodstove, it's alot of work that must be prepared for...no convenient switch to heat the house using a wood stove..alot of work, but the most coziest home ever...it's only 9° here...but it's so nice and warm in shorts and a T shirt!!!!

[@donnielaws7020]

WOW thanks so much for sharing this my friend ❤️ it really makes a difference. God bless you 🙏

[@petrimurphy6152]

Donnie so enjoyed watching about the beautiful cook stoves they were so gorgeous thanks for sharing ❤️ Shelby

[@donnielaws7020]

Thanks Shelby. I'm glad you enjoyed the video ❤️

[@bryanbrowning5746]

We heat with a wood stove up here in NW Montana. We have a heat pump/electric furnace, but rarely use it. It’s nothing for us to use five or six cords every winter. We had a 4 day power outage a few winters ago, and cooked our meals on our wood stove. Great video, Donnie!

[@donnielaws7020]

That's awesome my friend. Thanks so much for sharing.

[@Korki12345]

Thanks, Donnie. My family had a pot belly wood stove at the cabin long ago. Also, my friends grama had a wood cooking stove with the hot water tub attached. And like you said, nothing tastes better than food cooked on a wood stove. ❤

[@donnielaws7020]

Your very welcome my friend. Thanks so much 🙏

[@dalechurch4954]

Great video thanks for sharing this with us it gives me some wonderful memories my grandma cooked on a wood cook stove and heated with wood I have helped cut a lot of wood I remember the first heater she had was a warm morning we had to go out side to the coal pile with the bucket and carrie. In some pieces of coal for the heater. Then later on she got a stove that burnt more wood.. for a long time she would have to cook and everything in the front room they only had a one room house. Then later they built a little kitchen on the back.then she got her cook stove.i remember her telling me about her cooking over the fire place when she was younger. But that was some good food and you could load that heater up at night and stay so warm . I remember the old out house and the bucket under the bed 😅 we got water from the well I know that for a while I thought my name was get wood or get water 😅.. if you had a good quilt on the bed and a good fire you were good and warm 🙏 I remember that my father said that he slept on a strawtick mattress. Thank you for your hard work making these videos and keeping these wonderful things alive. I hope you stay safe and warm they're calling for cold weather and snow and high winds on the way this weekend.. God bless you and throw a log on the fire for us.

[@donnielaws7020]

[@virginia7191]

Thank you Donnie for bringing back memories of my childhood! We had a small wood stove in the kitchen and a coal King heater in the living room which was also my parents bedroom. Us kids slept upstairs. I can remember sitting around the King heater, wrapped in blankets or quilts and eating snow ice cream. Those were the days!

[@donnielaws7020]

That's awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing those memories!
