Did you build the plate rack? 😊

We always enjoy watching your channel. Food features large at our homestead, too. Homemade and homegrown always tastes better! You'll master the shortbread soon enough. I have never cooked on a woodstove, but I'm intrigued. I wonder if thinking, not in terms of temperature, but of distance to the heat source would help? For instance, could you place an iron trivet between the pot and hot stove? You wouldn't actually be lowering the temp but you'd put distance between the pot and the heat. Also, the same might hold true in the oven. Could you create an "oven within an oven", like a 3 sided tin shield for cooking delicate things like shortbread? The shield would sit over the pan to reduce the direct heat (without touching the pan). Who knows.... I'm an enthusiastic baker so part of me just wants to get in there with you, roll up our sleeves and experiment!! 🙂

Another great video. I’m watching the build out of order but what the heck. 🤠Your comments on trees is spot on! The amount of PJ encroachment and resulting water and grass loss in New Mexico is staggering . My uncle allows fire wood cutters to selectively cut for a minimum fee to control the juniper on his ranch and the results have been very favorable. Good stuff!

Very Nice vidéo Thanks!

Tallow makes the best French fries for a future project!

Waaaaw. Beautiful ❤❤❤

Metal roof is the way to go. I heard you mention that classes and overnight's could be held in this cabin. I don't think Uncle Dan would fault you for insulating his place. It would go far. You could place a plaque saying that the cabin was not originally not insulated and that it once had a cedar roof. My 1935 kitchen reproduction does not have 1930s newspapers in the walls for insulation, but folks are aware thats what was originally used. We are snug with good insulation and tight windows. My kitchen wood stove is going today. Rain/snow and sleet. I made pancakes and thought about your stove. The Monarch and the Home Comfort were both manufactured in MO. I had never seen one in New Hampshire before 2015. And had a heck of time restoring it! Not your typical Glenwood, made in Taunton , MA. I would have known what to do, but she came out beatiful!

Just happened upon this channel and I love it! Thanks for sharing!

P.S.- Do you have a key damper in the stove pipe? If yes, you can always put two key dampers to slow down the fire. Might want to consider a back shield...

Good morning Jessie and Robbie- Well I finally made it to watching this video of Uncle Dan's stove. Ours was our Great Uncle Roberts. Did I miss what year this stove was made? Ours is also a malleable. It is stamped into the cast cooktop, which means it has a " floating cooktop" . Yours looks very similar to our 1930 Home Comfort. Look ours up on Google. Your page showing the " elbow type twisting grates" are coal grates just like mine. Do you have the original lid lifter with the diamond opening to turn your grates? And it is just about impossible to keep a long wood fire those grates. That is why I purchased a solid "grate plate", with about six holes in it to place on top, plus I keep some ashes on it. Works much better keeping a fire if you can use hardwood or chuncks. Jessie you are so lucky to have Robbie helping you. It took me a full year to restore ours by myself in the house barn. I poured Coke all over the cook top to get some of the rust off and 0000 steel wool with olive oil. I see yours also has the jacket for a 30 gallon hot water heater, like ours. We don't use it, although my brother-in-law uses his. He has a Glenwood. You may be able to find parts on EBAY or from a company that restores these stoves. I found a cast iron oven rack because mine is "somewhere" on the farm. I kind of wished you hadn't blacked the stove top. I did not so I could cook directly on it. AKA toast. If the blacking burns off, try buffing it out with cooking oil, then make a ball of waxed paper ( Cut Rite) and buff the top. That's what Grandma Hazel taught me. Enjoy this beauty. Great job! ~ Diane P.S.- I love the comment " And don't get distracted." :-) With all the olive oil I used, when we took ours outside to fire it up, it smelled like an Italian kitchen!

Hello Jessie and Robbie. Please give me a geography lesson. Is your farm land on the prairie? I am looking at the drone overview and my heart goes out to your efforts. Your massive farming equipment tells a story of how challenging the prospect of realizing bumper crops from a land that is not cooperating. New Hampshire also has its challenges, like rocks, rocks and MORE rocks! We are zone 4A, so a short growing season, however our soil, when worked, resembles and feels like crumbling chocolate cake. I have abundant organic kitchen gardens and our 40 acres of hay fields are prime. We get two and sometimes three cuttings. Our customers will meet us in the fields to load their trucks right off the hay trailer! Saves us the work at our age, of bringing it into our hay barn. We average 7,000 square bales a year. We set the baler at 40 pounds because that is all we and our customers can handle! Many women show up to provide hay for their sheep & goat herds and horses. If I sent photos, you would think we were in 1940. We even have a 1940 panel truck in the barn, that we have to roll down the ramp to get it started! ~ Cheers! ~ Diane

Wood stoves are so nostalgic, and they are nice and warm in the winter months. The cabin looks so inviting, and the candlelight adds to the charm. Wild game is great, and the stew you made with the elk looked amazing. I thought the shortbread looked good. Nice biscuits as well. Cheers from Alberta!

เตาทำอาหารดูดีมากเลยค่ะ

Hello, we love your video and want to collaborate with you, the product is power station. Can you send us your Gmail for contacting? Thank you so much!

Amazing !

I lived in Glendive for 10 years and saw many of these cabins . Thank you for taking the time to bring these precious homes back to life.

Just curious why you don't have a wood fireplace? Love you cook stove, cast iron and cabin. Your cooking looks amazing. The ambience is wonderful . Thanks

Yo where are you in MT? Your geography makes me question whether or not we’re dang near neighbors 😮😅

Yes Jessie, if this house could talk. It is heartening to see you going forward with this project. I pass what I can to the next generation, but you are the perfect age to share all this wisdom of a past era. As I learned by my sharing nuggets of the past...some of them stick! I teach " Country Cooking on a Kitchen Wood Stove" when time allows. Folks here in NH are still interested. Our librarian has her grandmother's kitchen wood stove stored in the barn until the kitchen is renovated. Hopefully next fall, it will be heating her home. She lives a mile from me and I have offered to help her.

Hello Jessie & Robbie- I am not a fan of Round-Up, however, I am going to trust that you are being responsible in its application. That said, we do not grow crops other than hay. Our Herefords are grass fed. We spread manure on the fields and add commercial fertilizer if needed. You have an impressive acreage under cultivation. We are only a 350 small family farm. In 1940, 40% of all families were small family farms. Today, that figure is less than 1%. I don't know what people think they are going to eat? Your farm and others like yours are so important to the backbone of our American breadbelt. We have CSAs in New Hampshire ( COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE ) that literally sell shares in their future crops up front, in order to have the working capitol needed to buy seed and operate their farms. I cannot stress enough how important it is for people to support our farmers any way they can. Please buy local and do join a CSA in your area if possible. What programs do you have in Montana? ~ Diane

Great video we do things like this too..very rewarding in so many ways and that now my kids carry these skills on their own because we learned together.💞 Merry Christmas to you and yours.just subscribed looking forward to past and future videos.🎄💞🪵

hardwood, burns hotter and longer.

No music, please

Jessie. I know that you don't have oak or much oak. Do you have any neighbors or mills that might have oak chuncks? Its not that your stove burns through wood fast. Your wood is like burning kindling. I bought a solid wood stove fire box PLATE at our hardware store. It did have a few holes in it. They come in different sizes. I got one that left a border for air flow. Works better than just the coal grates.My coal grates look like two forearms that twist to dump the cinders when you use the coal crank ( lid lifter). Not sure what grate you have. And keep the ash pan fairly full. You are doing great! I had my Grandma Hazel to teach me and a few good novels that talked about their kitchen wood stoves. An excellent novel, set in 1929, was REFUGE by Dot Jackson, set in the Appalachian mountains. It helped me see the many challenges of that era. The pioneer life was beyond difficult!

Snowy morning in New Hampshire. Our kitchen wood stove is crackling and popping. The hemlock branches are coated with snow and bowing down. A magical white wonderland at dawn. The first birds are arriving at the window feeder. I call them " The Breakfast Crew.". Jessie, If you had wax papered the cook top, you could place bread directly on the stove top to make toast like my grandma did. Nothing better than a coffee pot on the back burner with bacon and eggs in the cast iron fry pan and toast on the cook top. It doesn't get any better than that! I have the same stove top 'ring set' as your stove, with the two small ones, and the dampers are similar. Are there coal grates? I have the original lid lifter with a diamond cutout in the handle to turn the coal grates. Good job on the pumpkin! I am looking forward to learning from you, regarding the pioneer details that graced their kitchens and I will be glad to share any New Hampshire lor. ~ Diane :PS. I found a reproduction cookbook/history of my Home Comfort through Lehman's Hardware store. Phone: (330) 8575757. Not sure if they still offer it. The title is THE HOME COMFORT COOKBOOK

Jessie, will there be more of the candle holders and spoons coming soon? Thank you

Such dedication to detail! The barns on our grandparents 1800s farmstead have that gray brown patina. Our CA cousin inherited that property with 50 acres. My brother-in-law rents the fields. The buildings are registered in the NH Historical Society. The NH Preservation Alliance hosted a fund raising to help raise awareness in the historical value of barns throughout our town. A box lunch was provided and it sold out. We provided three barns to tour. The newest being an 80' long, 3-story dairy barn my father-in law built in 1952. This history should not be lost.

You both made the right decision to log your property yourself. We will not allow a skidder on our property! We log by hand/tractor. Can't use horses because our land has too many ridges. My brother-in law registers with the state as to how many trees he plans to cut each year and what types of trees. We are conservation conscious here. Very strict. Our farm cottage was built in 2016 in the woods at the base of the main farm. There are giant hemlocks some 30' feet from our back door. They are majestic. I have had black bears at the back kitchen door! Lots of wildlife. We have Bob Cats, but fortunately no mountain lions ( pumas). They frighten me and are not found in NH. Bob Cats run the other way. ~ Diane

We are currently logging. I'm envious of your saw mill. We bring our trees to our log landing below my farm cottage. Our log hauler shows up with his cherry picker and takes our wood to the local mills. You will get a chuckle. I am the youngest on farm at 74. We are still going strong. Good NH stock. Jessie is amazing making furniture. You both are so fortunate working side by side. I restore vintage farm pieces only, mostly golden oak. We log hemlock, maple, oak, ash and some pine. Will comment on another video regarding what we are doing for preservation building projects.~ Diane

Hello Jessie and Robbie from our NH working farm- Grass fed beef ( Polled Hereford )- commercial hay and logging. Man oh man- -40 Farenheit is where Celsius meets! Even too cold for this native New Hampshire girl :-O. I could always tell who was coming home by the sound of the tractor engine. John Deer was Popity- POP! Our Ford tractors were a constant purr. Those were my guys coming down past our woodland cottage on one of the logging roads. Unlike your land, our 350 acres is mostly heavy woods. We have 40 acres in prime hay. Square bales '-) I have a healthy respect for those huge round bales. How many cattle do you run? We raise ours for mostly for breeding stock. We are third generation. My husband Jim's grandparents have their original farm on the propery. It is 1800s. The wind blows through the walls. It is only used in the summer by a cousin. Looking forward to following your channel. If you would enjoy seeing photos of our farm please send me an email address. I can also include photos of our restored1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove. All the best! ~ Diane

Thank you for sharing the history of the Western honmesteaders. There is a great true story series called Little Britches. It is about a New Hampshire family who moved out West to a sod house and tried to himestead. My eyes were opened when I read it at how easy we have it. I occasionally teach " A Day in the Life of a 1935 Rural New Hampshire Farm Wife". 1935 is as far back as I will go because life was so challenging. The back wall of my kitchen is a working 1935 kitchen. I have a 1928 Hoosier baking cabinet and a 1930 Home Comfort stove with a Hoosier farm table. Just need to find the perfect size oak ice box. When the power goes out here and it often does, we are more than fine. Toasty warm! Our cook stove will easily heat our insulated 980 sq. ft. living area. ~ Diane

Boy oh boy- it took 4 men to bring our 400lb kitchen wood stove into our new house. I heard you say stove blacking. When I restored ours I used ooo steel wool and olive oil on the cook top and Coke! My Grandma Hazel would cook directly on the surface. Came out fine. Then I took Cut Rite waxed paper, balled it up and scrubbed the stove surface. It is like putting on a teflon surface. Make sure the stove is cold before you use the wax paper. I'm assuming you are not insulating to restore the cabin to keep it original, but you might freeze to death! That cabin has nothing to stop the wind. Chilly but lovely! Toasty Toe warmers and lots of down parkas :-) Sorry your pan exploded! Try to use cast iron cookware if possible or metal pans you don't mind getting scortched. Have fun with this old girl!

would putting a rug down make it less cold in there

Instal a small pot belly as well

OH NO! NOT THE FINAL EPISODE! I'VE BINGED ALL DAY!! ❤❤❤

You better save all those wood shavings & sawdust for the chicken coop & run.

Yes, you can see tons of daylight coming under the front door.

I would love a homemade gift like this!! You.did such an amazing job

God bless you all and many prayers 📿 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 📿 😇 🙏🏻 ✨️ ✝️

After all that, 1/2 cup cold water poured in the coffee pot. Makes all the grounds sink. No grounds in your cup.

Camp hack: Rub ivory bar soap on your pots, pans & coffee pots. After your done cooking, & pots are cooled, just wipe the black soot off with a rag. Good as new!!❤❤❤❤

Borax, water & sugar paste on a paper plate next to ant hills. Gets rid of them within a day. BTW.

Hi my name is Maximo Sanchez I just recently stumbled onto your first post and enjoyed it immensely am now a subscriber please continue restoration of the old west way of living a follower from deep south Texas Rio grande city to be exact God bless you and family

Your cook stove looked amazing,every time you cook on it you will learn something new.Happy Christmas.🥰🌺🌺

Donna's right. Soak the nails in a bucket 🪣 of coke. It works. It removes oil from windshields if you live in California as well. Good luck

My grandad built stone fireplaces. Huge ones in multi-million dollar homes. It's an art. He'd study the placement of each large stone. Sometimes they'd take a month. I NEVER watch building projects on UA-cam except for yours!! I'm binge watching. This channel is awesome! God bless you all and many prayers 📿 ❤❤❤

Lol. Out of the mouths of babes!! Daddy don't say that word around us. Lol.

Hi, I’m interested in ordering stuff from in there, but it doesn’t show me much. There is things in there like your friend had some kitchen towels and your candles. I need some help. I’m interested in buying some stuff. Thank you.

Hello from our family farm in New Hampshire. I am sitting here looking at our 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove. " "Matilda" graces our kitchen. I have her ready it light, as a snow storm is heading our way. She belonged to our Great Uncle. Took me a year to restore. About the same size as yours, but has a coffee pot gray spackle enamel finish. I have cooked venison on it. Our house is well insulated and Matilda will drive us out! I have to open doors. Cooking on it is a real art. There is a water jacket for a 30 gallon hot water heater on the fire box side. That stew looks gorgeous! I managed to find a 1908 Griswold 7" waffle iron in mint condition. What fun! We live a 1940s lifestyle for the most part on our farm. My grandmother taught me the Old New Hampshire Ways and I am forever grateful ~ Diane
