This reminds me of the old home I was raised in. My dear Mother cooked many wonderful meals on wood burning stoves and my brothers and I cut and carried in probably tons of stove wood to cook with. The sweet potato in the picture reminds me that on special occasions, Mother would bake sweet potatoes and then mix it with her bisquit dough. The bisquits would bake to a golden yellow and then sliced and loaded with real butter she had made from our cow, oh my!! We boys would see who could eat the most. I miss my dear Mother's cooking, may she rest in peace. Love you, Daddy
Very nice pictures you took, Gigi. Thank you for this. My mom had a more modern wood stove.
Mrs. Jim's uncle had one like your find that he kept in the living room for heat. He would always have a hot water kettle or some coffee setting just off the hottest part. His chimney went out the window. ..
Amazing photos Gigi! Many years ago, there was an old homeplace near Dillard that was turned into a restaurant and they cooked on a stove like this. Sadly, it's not there now. You take the most beautiful photos ~ thanks for sharing.

That's awesome. How long has it been since that stove was last used? I noticed a sweet potato in the top.
Where is Guysie? Love the look, so vintage.
