stove

I had a little free time on the weekend, so I built myself a new alcohol stove, one of the pepsi can stoves. It was very very easy and didn't take long, under 1/2 hour. I followed the instructions here: Penny Stove 2.0 - Standard Tecate Cans I just used a few different objects laying around...

This past week I have been pouring over the book 'Compact Cabins' by Gerald Rowan...fabulous read BTW...and He talks about Russian stoves/heat sinks...this has very much captured my attention and as they require wood for fuel I figured maybe someone in the FV has one in their home...please share...

Can anyone help in choosing a good stove?

I ran the clean cycle on my electric range yesterday and now I have smoke stains on the enamel and on the plastic trim around the oven door, and at the vent on the range top. How do I clean this up? I have tried soap and water, spray cleaners like 409, and even a little Bon Ami scrub. No luck...

Hubby and I have *zip, zilch, nadda* experience with wood stoves. Our local TSC has some small ones for sale right now at good prices. How hard are they to install?

Does anyone have trouble cooking with their cast iron on an electric stove? Our elec. stove is old...like from the early '80s. And it's HORRIBLE in general. The only large burner is hit and miss on heating up. The three small burners are too small for most of my cast iron pans. When I do get...

I have a wood burning fireplace on the ground floor of my raised ranch. The basement has a wood stove. Our house is about 1800 sq. We live in boston and fill our oil tank once a year. We are very, very frugal about running the heat. I would like to move the wood stove from the basement...

We have a smallish vermont castings wood burning stove in our family room - use to have a large one that made things much hotter ( sometimes too hot as there was no real way to control the temo ) but it not only was illgeal by new EPA standards but it wasnt working properly - leaked etc...

Has anyone ever made cornbread on the stove instead of the oven? I don't think I can get the toaster oven hot enough to bake it without burning either the top or the bottom.

After waaaaaay too much math and discussion in another forum, the results are in. Using a plug in electric kettle is not only faster than a stove top kettle, but it uses a lot less power. So much, that it would save $14.52 per year.

This is a job i highly dislike. I have put it off long enogh.Homemade mac and cheese boiled over in it and its stuck on like glue.

I am just starting to look at putting a woodstove in my house. It is a small, basement free home that looks like it was originally heated with one. There is a chimney in the center of the house with a hole above my head where a pipe could still be fitted. It doesn't have a very secure looking...

I have talked about getting a pellet stove for a long time and we finally did last summer. When we saw what the oil prepay prices were we decided now was the time to purchase. We have been using it all season and I must say we LOVE it! My house is sooooo warm now (or should I say toasty). We...
