- Go to Did You Have a "Warm Morning" Cook Stove in your Kitchen when growing Up?
Re: Re:
No that's a Rolls Royce of a cooker. This had two round wicks it was fed by a jar which held the fuel the oven must have been on top. Top problem was that the pipe which fed the fuel would get blocked with water it soaked up the wicks and meant cold dinner.
The trouble with paraffin if one was not careful was that condensation dribbled down inside storage cans.

no we did have a wood combustable that did the trick. Mother hated it and kicked it as it went out the door and the electric range came in. Some years later I was living in the outback and she came in and saw my Combustable stove was exactly the same as she had kicked out of the door.

My family never had one of those when I was growing up. It looks pretty good.

No we had a paraffin cooker , It was very cold on Winter mornings just another small paraffin heater, the best way to feel warm was to hold ones vest out over the stove.
