<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yourturntoloveit, post: 144288, member: 57&quot;]My grandmother (born in the early 1880s) was still cooking/baking on/in her wood stove into the early 1960s.&nbsp; Whoa doggies, could she ever cook the best meals in the world on it!!!!&nbsp; My grandpa up to age 86 was still chopping the wood for &quot;her&quot; stove.&nbsp; Hard to believe that they had always lived &quot;in the city.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I can still &quot;see&quot; her taking a small piece of rolled up newspaper or a straw from a broom to &quot;check&quot; the heat of the oven or sprinkling a bit of water on one of the top fire-covers to gauge the heat that was being put out by that old wood stove.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you wanted a &quot;treat&quot; to eat between mealtimes you could always find something good to eat in the &quot;warming oven&quot; compartment of that old stove. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie49" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
