Magic Chef
By American Standard Stove Co.
Retro Gas Stove
Circa 1920-1940

This Magic Chef is without a doubt a most uniquely styled kitchen range. In its heyday, this singular stove was considered ultra modern. Two gas burners flank the large gas fueled oven. A broiler is located below the oven, and a utility drawer is located below each pair of burners. The long shiny handlebars are a convenient feature, as is the extra counter space above the oven. The snow white baked on enameling is easy to clean. Cool, hip, vintage, retro-modern, this functional Magic Chef kitchen range is the talk of the town.

Happy Customers Here, you'll find testimonials from folks who found themselves the perfect stove in our showroom. For example: “I use the oven just about every weekend. Its so much simpler to use than a modern one. I’ve cooked with gas ovens before. The thermostat seems really accurate as cooking times haven’t varied from what I am used to. I just turn the gas full on, set the thermostat and let it do the work; no worries.”

An antique wood-burning kitchen cook stove must be located a mimimum of 36 inches from unprotected woodwork and other combustible materials or furniture. The addition of a heat shield or other protective devices, to the wall or the stove, allows a reduction of those distances by 50% to a distance of 18 inches from a combustible wall and 9 inches from a noncombustible wall. The wood-burning stove needs to be vented. This is done through a class-A, double-walled chimney.
