Q. Hi I am looking for someone to tell me how to go about fixing the top of a 1864 Home Comfort wood/coal cookstove. There are cracks in the lids and top plates and it smokes. I need to find some way to repair it or find some parts so I can use it. It cooks and bakes beautiful. Please would someone have any ideas.

A. Hi, Joyce.

A stove which smokes because it leaks is extremely dangerous both in terms of the possibility of fire and of carbon monoxide poisoning. I would suggest that you visit a major fireplace shop and see what guidance they can offer. Often they will know local welders, glass cutters, firebrick providers, local vest-pocket foundries, etc. who are familiar with stove repair. The repair might be as simple as Mortar/Sealant but I haven't seen it and I'm not an expert.

A. Most all of the old wood cook stoves are cast iron parts on a sheet metal box. Usually if not broken the cast iron parts can be cleaned up and/or replated and are as good as new. If the sheet metal box is in bad shape take it to a sheet metal shop and have them build you a new one on the old pattern then bolt the restored cast iron parts back on - good as new.

A. Hi Roberta. Dave B suggested in 2006 going to any local foundry for the cast iron parts. Erica D reinforced this on January 11, 2008 by saying that people with parts on hand generally don't want to sell them because they want to sell a whole stove. I mentioned two possible sources of parts on October 29, 2013, and three more possible places in April 2015, and Rex Bakel mentioned yet another on January 9, 2017 :-)

Please contact a couple of them and tell your fellow stove owners what these places said about your parts.
Thanks.

MARTIN

Q. I have recently come into possession of a Martin Stove & Range "Junior" no 7-14 A stove. It is missing a few parts unfortunately. Can I replace the firebox grate with a steel one? I don't want to run the risk of it expanding and damaging the stove, but it will be much easier to get one made out of steel since I don't have a mold. Thanks.

Glen Buss

A. Hi Glen. The coefficient of expansion of steel is only 5-10% higher than that of cast iron. I wouldn't foresee any issues with any drop-in parts.

Q. Hi I just scored a beautiful Monarch Cook Stove and need to restore it. So I have 2 questions. One how do I remove the shaker grate from the stove? I can't find any manuals, free or to purchase. And second, the shaker grate is a little warped; it still rotates but is a little janky. Should I replace it and where should I get one. I've heard there are places that do new casts of them. Any ideas anyone. It would be much appreciated. Thank you for any wisdom you can throw my way.

Q. Hi; That is what she is using now. She wants to restore the stove as much as she can. She moved to MT to be near her Mom and help as needed. The house she got came with this cool stove that was working. She got new grates at the hardware store in Roundup. She says that stovetop cooking is a breeze but the oven is a bit scary. She started with Dog biscuits and then Lasagna. Bread is next.

A. Your daughter's progress sounds good! You can try googling very specifically for "Monarch woodstove parts" or "monarch woodstove thermostats" if none of the places listed on this page can help. But one reader said -- and it sounds very believable -- that now that restored old wood stoves are fashionable again, and go for big money, the parts companies tend to hoard parts to make expensive restored stoves.

QUICK MEAL

Q. I have the same problem as Bonnie from California - "Underneath the cookplates I found disintegrating layers of asbestos."

My question is, once I have the layers properly removed and disposed, what do I replace it with? Is asbestos still used for these things or do I have an alternative?

It's a Quick Meal stove I just acquired, and it needs some TLC. It's mostly just dirty, has a little surface rust (mostly outside the water reservoir), and the problem underneath the cookplates.

Thanks in advance!

Q. I have an antique cast iron stove. It has been updated for electric and is no longer wood burning. What type paint would be best?

Melanie Hargis
- Victoria, Texas, USA
February 27, 2018


A. Hi Melanie, personally I wouldn't paint a stove, electric or otherwise. So much goes into this, from surface prep, masking off, choosing an appropriate paint, buying equipment to do it, learning how to use a spray gun if you haven't used one before- it's a massive effort for minimal return, and unless you are a professional (or send it to one), you may not even like the results, and it could de-value the stove.

HOWEVER... a woodstove restoration polish is right up your alley! It will bring back the satiny black of clean and well maintained cast iron, and protect the stove from rust. Also, it's dead easy to use- literally just rub it in with a rag, wipe off the excess, and heat up your stove to finish setting it. The surface prep for stove polish [on eBay or Amazon] is also easy; a steel brush to coax off any rust you've got is all you need unless the thing is REALLY rusty, but I'm guessing yours isn't.

"Stove Polish"

on eBay or

Amazon

(affil links)

Stove polish is super forgiving! One kind that pretty much everyone likes is Rutland William's Stove Polish ⇨ There's a very dark grey version that looks most original on stoves, and a black version that is ideal for ornamental wrought iron gates etc, depending on your preference. They have it on Amazon and detailed instructions and before-and-after pics are in the reviews.

I used it on my working Victorian kerosene parlor stove that was getting a little tired and had some surface rust starting, and it looks a million times better.
Good luck with your project!

Douglas Redden

Q. I purchased a mid-century home that was built in 1957. It has 2 fireplaces with a Majestic Co stove built in. It appears the original top of the stove was replaced with Mexican terracotta tile. Someone told me it could be a baking oven because it has 2 channels inside for racks.

I am trying to find out if I need a top, or what the exact use of the stove is. I would like to use it as intended and get it back into original condition.

A. Hi Paul. I don't see a chimney so, sorry to say, but unless I'm misunderstanding something, this is never going to be functional. But it looks like maybe there once was a planned chimney, which has now been sealed off with concrete? I think it's a handmade galvanized frame connected to two doors from old stoves, not a whole original stove.

If there is a functional chimney and it can be safely opened again, you still have a lot of work in front of you before a fire can be safely lit in there: I see no fire brick yet, and it's certainly required for the top, and maybe for the four sides as well (this is not a fire safety audit, just mention of something obviously wrong). There seems to be no soot, so I don't know a fire was ever lit in there. Maybe the builder decided halfway into the project that actual fires in there were a pipe dream -- but good luck.

Q. Thank you for your great insight Ted, I really appreciate it.

Your observations are correct in that the interior galvanized frames seem to be haphazardly built.

Perhaps the original pictures I posted weren't clear.

There is a chimney opening at the rear wall, it's not large but it's there. There is definitely a flue/chimney that travels up. It is small, about the same size as a pipe stove flue. (please see new photos)

I've also included photos of the chimney from the top of the roof. The chimney opening on the roof is massive. It has two separate openings at the top. My guess is the small wood burning stove chimney joins one the chimneys on the way up. (please see photos)

The exterior is natural stone but the interior is completely lined rear/sides/bottom with the same firebrick as the two fireplaces. (please see new photos)

The two fireplaces abut one another but have individual chimneys, they don't join and don't use a common chimney.

We ran a test and burned a softball size wad of heavy brown paper in the stove. Sure enough, smoke immediately came billowing out of the top of the chimney on the roof.

Please see pictures and videos (hopefully you can post videos, they are only about 15 seconds long).

A. Hi again. My error! I misinterpreted the photo.
Now I see the firebrick and chimney! Happy to hear about it because it's no fun to rain on a parade, and it sounds like you are much closer to success than I originally thought.

I suppose it could be used as a smoker or, since it's an airtight stove, a source of heat. But firebrick on the inside of the top would be a necessity unless that parging on the underside of the terracotta top is fireproof and thicker than it looks (and even then it looks like it would crack and fall unless there is re-bar in it. Start with small fires until you're very confident it won't overheat -- airtight stoves are a bit different than open fireplaces because they can get really hot.

I don't know if those creosote-burning logs you see on TV actually work, but you should try them periodically because you don't want to deal with a chimney fire in a chimney that doesn't sound very cleanable. Again, I'm no fireplace/stove expert capable of evaluating the safety of an installation from pictures, so it would be great if you can find a local service to take a look.

(I saw your video of smoke coming out the chimney and, yes, we can post videos; but googledrive documents with privacy settings requiring asking permission to view them aren't compatible with our no-registration public forum).

thumbs up sign Thank you so much for your time and expertise Ted! You confirmed our suspicions. We originally though that maybe there was an iron stove top for teapot or kettle type cooking. We thought about trying to either find a cast iron top but also had the idea of finishing out the top with firebrick and keeping it enclosed and using it as a smoker. I like the smoker idea best.

I will talk with someone locally , a chimney person and a stove person, and get their opinions. I'll be sure to update you as the project progresses!

Thanks again!

Q. I inherited a Majestic Woodburning cooking Stove or Range. It's a 2-burner and has the water reservoirs or metal bladders on the left and right side of it for a tank. It looks like somebody took the small stove on a great majestic cooking range, or if they were made to work separately, is the best and most accurate description I can come up with to describe this stove.

19039-24a   19039-24b   19039-24c   19039-24d   19039-24e

I can't find a single picture or Catalogue or Manual or person that knows anything about it. It's model no. 4 and it had a L 3 etched into the very back of the inside of the stove and 9-30 on the back of the middle door or case that the cranks on the burners can be adjusted. I was going to just paint it and use it as decoration but if it is as rare as it seems maybe I should have it done professionally now. It says Majestic MFG ST. Louis MO, has the fancy. On the vent door I can't get any answers just questions.

A. Hi Greg. I'm no woodstove expert, just a guy who has curated the posting of hundreds of questions on this subject for 25 years or so. My feeling about rarity and the difficulty in finding info about a specific make and model is that there were dozens & dozens of different manufacturers of wood stoves, and each had dozens & dozens of different models. So it's probably not so much that any one particular make and model is rare, but that every individual make and model is rare because there were so many different makes and models :-)

DETROIT STAR

Q. Does 1930's range have asbestos?
My husband bought me a beautiful antique range for Christmas. It's a Detroit Star brand and looks very similar to the mom's stove from "Christmas Story". I'm assuming it's from the 1930s. It's in great condition but still needs some TLC to get it in working condition. My question is - do we need to be concerned about asbestos? I'm not sure what was used as insulation for these stoves back then and want to take every precaution before we start any work on it.

I found the same model at this auction site for reference:

A. Hi Jackie. Please try the suggestion from Dave Barr on page 1 of trying a local foundry, or the sources in the Introduction.

This thread has endless inquiries from potential customers for stove parts, and has been viewed by many thousands of readers every year for over 20 years without any supplier even once inquiring about listing or advertising here. So, while there might well be local foundries willing to cast parts for you as part of their regular foundry business, and the listed places may have an occasional part available, there appears to be no supplier in the world in the business of stocking or making parts for old stoves :-(

Bonanza Wood Cooking Stove 19039-15a   Bonanza Wood Cooking Stove 19039-15b   Bonanza Wood Cooking Stove 19039-15c  

Is there anyone who has the assembly blueprints they can take pictures of and send me or maybe a website that's got em? I've found the stove on Pinterest but it's been sold and one guy has one on Facebook but won't respond and this is driving me nuts. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ed. note: We greatly appreciate Bill's generosity in offering to assist Justin. Unfortunately we've learned from a quarter million postings on this site over a period of 3 decades, that we simply cannot be a private matchmaking service. When we disenfranchise other readers of a public forum, then "C" wants to know what "B" told "A", then "D" & "E" each have other things they want from "A" or "C", and we're sitting in snarls with nobody satisfied :-(
Sorry but any help offered must be in public; we have all the room in the world. Surely other owners of Bonanza stoves will stumble upon this page over time anyway. If any hints can be offered about the three pieces Justin specifically inquired about, that would be great!

A. I know it is a while after the fact but there is a guy in Johnson City, Tenn. that has one listed on marketplace and it appears to be put together and complete. I don't know if he could help you out or not. Just curious if you ever found out what date this stove came from?

BEAUTY

Q. Seeking help identifying one part on a cast iron potbelly stove. It is similar to an UMCO single cooktop stove but has the word Beauty on the clean out door. Main door says No 10. It is complete except something to stabilize the ash grate/shaker. Do you have any photos or parts lists for this beauty? I could fabricate the missing piece or pieces if I knew what they looked like. Thank you!

A. I needed a few stove top parts also and I got in touch with our local foundry and they actually made them for me.
