Over the last year we have lovingly restored a collection of vintage stoves, cookers and lamps from the 1920s to the 1950's. (well that would be the man of the house - I made the cuppa's)
Adding charm and practicality with a bit of history thrown in for good measure.
Vintage paraffin stoves and heaters not only look good but are a practical and economical solution to being off grid. Whether this is in a remote area, on a narrowboat or potting shed or just as an extra source of heat or power should the gas/electric go off.
Having been a fan of these cookers and stoves for some years now, we regularly use one for picnic trips in our little 2CV van. Also camping in the New Forrest, there really isn't anything you cant cook on one that you could cook using a modern equivalent. Definitely not just for 'warming pies'!
Ive cooked curries, jacket potatoes, chips, pancakes, pasta, you name it. Perfect for one pan all day breakfast too and the occasional pie too.
So what you waiting for - Put the kettle on! and take a browse. Almost forgot... perfect for making a brew!
Heres a taster.....
