Model Ranges Barstow Stove Company Makers in New York, Providence & Boston This new design is one of our most popular styles. It has the Swing Fire Top that is such a marked improvement in stove making, The large, roomy oven is equipped with the Food Rake that pulls out pies, bread etc. without scorching the hand. The High Shelf has our Patented Extension Tea Plates which give double the usual space. It has a large firebox and when equipped with the extra long wood box, sticks 27" long can be burned in the 83-10 size. It has all the best "Barstow" equipment including the Simmering Cover, door pedal, heat indicator, ring cover, "Cantrust" water or brass coil. The grates can be drawn out through the fire door opening when it is desired to change or renew them. Four Styles of grate can be furnished-Triangular, Plain, Dockash or Wood Grate. Our "Simplicity" damper controls both baking and kindling, Either the High or End Gas Oven is adapted to this series. This view shows the High Shelf and End Gas Oven. The square, straight side, full size oven is always appreciated, as it gives more capacity when a large amount of baking is to be done-then the Food Rake is so handy in pulling forward the contents of the oven. The locked oven rack that stays in position while turning the roast or loaf is a decided improvement-the old-fashioned way was to hold on to it and burn your fingers. The oven bottom is "buttoned" in and is easily removed and repaired. The grate bars are the same, back or front, so they can be changed once in a while if one is out of true from overheating. The Barstow "Simplicty" damper controls "Kindling and Baking." You simply raise the handle to kindle or brighten the fire and lower it to check or bake. The back ash guard carries, all the ashes in to the pan. This prevents accumulation behind the pan, so common in many cheap ranges that do not have these little improvements that you always find in a "Barstow."

Kitchen Cook Stove Installation

Antique Wood-Burning Kitchen Cook Stove:
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.
