Thinking lately about your new stove has been reminding me of some old stories i read as a child. My dad used to find me old books at yardsales and I've read books that were 100 years old. I was remembering a story about a little girl who talked her mom into putting the Christmas decorations in the kitchen where it was always warm and cozy from the stove, rather than in the parlor where it was always chilly and never really homey. The baby Jesus in the nativity always cold. But the kitchen was the center of the family and always warm and bright because of the wood cooking stove so it made sense to decorate in the kitchen and have Christmas in there, rather than the parlor. Thank you for triggering the memory of that story and a few others that featured wook cooking stoves. 🙂

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Thank you for telling that story. I can definitely see how that would be the room everyone wanted to be in because it was always nice and warm.

[@rwoods6132]

It's amazing how much technology we have forgotten because it was replaced with newer technology. Your Great grand mother would have been able to run that stove when she was ten years old. We have forgotten how. Great video! Keep bringing the old stuff back!

[@beebop4333]

You should add that at 10 yrs old grandma could run the stove and now we need our 10yr olds to help us run our phones, tvs and ipads

[@elkhntr4evr421]

Melissa will have to dress up in 1920s apparel when she does “As the Rooster Crows” videos! I think it’s going to be amazing with her doing videos with the wood cookstove!

[@johnkeller441]

I have a very similar SELLER's Hoosier Cabinet that had been in a farmhouse near Dodgeville and then taken to our family cabin north of Tomahawk. My model was completely restored and is the Klearfront/Kitchenaire model. It has the roll top cover for the front under the upper cabinets. I have purchased parts and accessories from Kennedy Hardware in Zionsville, IN. The rails under the shelf is where the breadboard slides into. On the right side of the cabinet, there may be a flat piece of steel and a wingnut that holds the wood block for a hand-meat grinder. They are a wonderful piece for a kitchen, family room or office. The HOOSIER CABINETS book by Phillip D Kennedy is a great resource for information.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Awesome information, we just ordered the book, it will be here within a week. Thank you.

[@lockedin60]

Joe I have seen videos in the Russian Federation where stoves similar to this in Russia are still used to be the main source of heat for the whole house. Glad we have more modern ways to do that now!

[@suzisaintjames]

Yippee!🎉🎉🎉 Another video ends with Joe taking the trash out to the road! Ahh! The good o' days. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@belindamcmahon9308]

My grand parents had one in their pantry I remember them having a coffee ground sifter or something on theirs she would have that stock with snacks for us grandkids I remember that one very well not like quite yet you have but similar

[@kevinbaird2527]

That wood cook stove room is shaping up cant wait till its all finished up. I am sure it will be nice.

[@charlesscharer8845]

Forgot im 65 andthe cabinet was from my grandmother who passed in 1972. Dont know where she got it. The flour cabinet on the left tilted out at a 45 to fill with the sifter sttached. It was short. Also it had pull down door like a roll top desk.

[@jodymccain3258]

We had a metal drawer built into our kitchen cabinets when I was growing up. Kept the bread and baked goods fresher for longer. I can still hear the sound of that drawer opening in my mind! 🙂

[@johnzellers495]

We had the metal bread drawer in our Hoosier Cabinet as well. I remember mom and dad using that thing all the time. I used it to make up dough with Salt, Pepper and Garlic Powder for Panfish and Catfish Bait on it. LOL

[@John-kl3ue]

I could just imagine how beautiful a roast would be done in the old stove ..be magnificent..and the smell …

[@NordicGirl2]

On the Hoosier cabinet, the two bottom drawers that are metal lined are for unground corn in the smaller and wheat berries in the larger. Check to make sure they aren’t lead lined. Mine were. There is a grinder attachment that fits on the upper part of mine for milling the wheat and corn. I love mine and I hope Melissa has a blast with hers.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Nordic Girl: Can you send us a picture of your cabinet? Maybe lots of pictures showing the details? Melissa asked me to see if you could do this. [e-mail]

[@carolhub8080]

That stove is great! Bet you could bake some nice bread in it. My Grandma had a cookstove when I was young, back in the 50’s and I’ve seen a couple of KZbinrs who have purchased new wood cookstoves as preppers, in case old Joe takes away our gas stoves! My husband has a fit that you don’t put that old tractor inside somewhere. He’s a big IH fan. Thanks for your video’s, we enjoy both channels. Time for some more cooking from Melissa, and maybe she could show us how to make pottery.

[@annettehudson3980]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR STOVE ITS AWSOME GREAT PICKING 👍👍👍 Have a wonderful day

[@beckyumphrey2626]

Our neighbor has a buisness that buys old furniture like the cabinet you bought. He carefully takes them apart and digitizes each piece. He then has a CNC wood cutter and he produces the pieces new from cherry. He makes the exact cabinet you just bought. He has a huge backlog of orders.

[@forrestlovell2218]

That's a nice addition to the stove. Can't wait for some videos of Melissa cooking out there.

[@ronaldlee2376]

The Hoosier Cabinets must be coming back in style. Have seen several of late,no two the same. Mine is so much different as well, very unique make table & other features.

[@oldguy59]

my grandmother had a one of those cabinets until the house burned down back in 74. that's a great find for your kitchen

[@richardbrooks3569]

We used to make our toast on a stove like that. Just throw it on the stove top and give it a flip. The taste was special.

[@kbittorf335]

That cookstove gives meaning to the phrase: If you can‘t take the heat, get out of the kitchen! I can hear how choked up those oem 361 mufflers are. Excellent saw otherwise.👍

[@charlesdeens8927]

Amazing how easy we have it today. There was a lot to learn on how to operate a wood stove, not to mention the work to provide the fuel. We tend to think we're so technology savvy these days, but I'm sure a person of today would be totally lost on how to operate the tech of the past.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

You accomplished alot on this videos Joe, inside the building looks so much better and that old wood cookstove is working great and learning the heating of the oven and cooking with it will get worked out. The new Thor Kitchen 2 Portable BBQ Grill looks like a keeper for sure. Thanks so much for sharing with us, stay safe and keep up the great videos and the fun you folks have around there. Fred.

[@duaneblaisdell6345]

Awesome cabinet!!! I have a two burner gas grill just like that. They work great but I found out after use and utubing it. The biggest tip I found works when it’s windy is putting tinfoil over those vents on the outside of the grill

[@robinbeem1537]

[@florencecampbell774]

Joe love your cabinet,it is beautiful.cant wait to see Milissa use it hopefully.Tank you for sharing Joe .Keep safe.

[@brucecochrane9209]

We had a cabined almost exactly like the one you had it was made of oak. Same features even the roll around closure for the center of the cabinet. The table would pull out. The sliding doors were 1/2 round oak slats with a canvas backing. A very nice piece of furniture. You are lucky to have one

[@osmadchlo]

Love the Hoosier cabinet! That was a great find! I have been waiting a couple of years to see what treasures Melissa has stored away. I'm so excited!

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Haha.You know what? you are absolutely correct. I was just laughing reading this and told that to Melissa. She is now ordering a manual timer. Lol.

[@jefflink4671]

My buddy bought a gas grill like that at BJ's a couple years ago and absolutely loves it. He uses his at the campgrounds all the time.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

It works really well.

[@mikebutcher6452]

When I was just old enough to do a chore it was to bring in corn cobs for my mom to burn in a stove like that. I also thought I saw an old Victrola in the room buy the cook stove. My youngest daughter has one that still works, an old family heirloom.

[@elteescat]

Yeah, they just got the Victrola. Only a couple of weeks ago.

[@tdvan80]

Love this. Seems to be the right size when camping.

I have an oak Hoosier that I am redoing. It is painted and I am taking it back to the oak finish. My roll door goes up and down but it is missing also. We are going to make one for it. They also made Sellers cabinets that were made like the Hoosier and are often mistaken as such. Mine has a big bin for sugar that is a lot like the flour one. They are really hard to find anymore.

[@clh476]

That is just like mine, it was green and we refinished it and wood is popular wood. Vandykes restoration is where I bought spice bottles for my spice rack. Mine came with all the parts & pieces. Edge on my pull out top is orange.

I had 1 with tin chickens as part of the front of the top doors and the counter top was tin also .

26:10 when you open a 600+f degree oven you get blasted with air so hot it makes you take a step back. You might double check that oven with another thermometer. Maybe the reason it took the frys longer than you thought could be because it wasn't as hot as you thought. 💖🌞🌵😷

[@NorthernSeclusion]

Melissa ordered 2 of the oven thermometers, one for in the oven and one for in the warming oven.

Not sure whether I remember right but there is a door or looks like there is one on the front of the stove top-left my grandma had a stove like yours and my job as a kid was to go get the woood put in the wheel barrow take it to the kitchen and put it in that door. Sometimes the grownups would take out a cooking plate and put wood in but mostly once it was up and burning we put it in the front. I may not remember right it was a long time ago.

I find most grease pans are too shallow, or too small. That shallow pan I would be afraid of spilling the grease before I could safely pour it into something.

[@NorthernSeclusion]

In the next video you will see me moving that grill like a briefcase and I had no trouble. I suggest that if you have that trouble you dump the grease pan more often. You do not get much grease cooking burgers and brats though, it burns off. I get much more grease when smoking meat in my offset smoker grill.
