- This week I show you a 100 year old DELUXE Prentiss Wabers No. 3 camp stove AND oven and how to operate it! This is what the wealthier campers used when picnicking or camping 100 years ago.

Ingenious and fun, thanks for the interesting post!
Thank you and you are welcome!
Pretty cool stove, thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very interesting saw the prior stove video and this is quite the stove and enjoy the entire series
I appreciate that!
THIS is a great oven/ camp range! I have always admired these in illustrations from period catalogs!
It works surprisingly well. I had serious doubts due to all the gaps and it is far from efficient but as an all in one package it does what it says it can do!
I believe the grill of your stove fits into the slot to sit level if not in the slot maybe on top of it
There are 2 holes in the rear that the prongs sit in and the tabs that fold up on each side has a rest that the rack sits on. It works better than I expected but not as well as I hoped. Still, it is easier to use and carry than a Dutch oven, let alone clean :)
Thank you I just noticed it was sitting a little askew. But again I am enjoying the content of your post
,,,,hello Mr, Dyer,, very nice video,, i enjoyed watching,, i`ll be waiting to see you bake with this stove,, thank you for sharing,,
Thank you my friend!
I have one of these I believe a no1 just no pressure gauge 1923 vintage if im not mistaken.I still take it camping and it puts out great heat.Just have to oil leather cup inside hand pump.Awsome video sir.Montgomery wards sold these ?.
They did! I hope you enjoy yours, they're pretty bomb proof. Just make sure to pre-heat it really good otherwise you can flood it and cause a heck of a fire ball...been there and it wasn't pretty.
Holy heck! ,lol! Amazing!
Thank d
Glad you liked it!
Great video I believe you have a great teaching method and you have a nice crisp way to convey your information thank you for doing what you do.
I appreciate the feedback!
I have a Colman stove..model 527,which was a field surgeon's stove 1945 era...this one works and have one spare generator...
That's cool provenance! They are pretty indestructible!
Thanks for the video! I recently purchased the same make, but in a model 8 stove. Very excited to start using it soon!
They are pretty durable and easy to fix overall since there are so few parts to maintain. Mine had some kinks to work out, the most notable was clearing out the nozzle with a needle. For some reason carbon tends to build up in it and then I need to disassemble the burner setup to get to it. I tried it again yesterday with a different oven to bake in and was able to get it going well without breaking it down for the first time.
Nice ❤❤❤
Many many thanks
What type of fuel do you use for this? I just acquired a model no 5 that I’m beginning my restoration on.
White gas my friend. You can pick up a can in your local Walmart labeled under Crown or Coleman. Congrats on your acquisition!
dude, straighten that grill! It's assembled wrong.
At what point in the video? I appreciate the feedback.
cool!
thank you!
what kind of oil do you use on the leather washers in the air pump? I have my parents stove from the 40's they bought when they got married after the war. I'm using a propane conversion , but would like to run it on stove fuel too
Generally instead of oil, I dip the pump rod in the white gas. Due to the way the pump is designed, if I used a 3 in 1 oil or gun oil like I use in more modern camp stove pump mechanisms, the oil messes with the fuel. This works out really well since I already have the fuel.
a 100 years old sounds soooooo old, until I remember , I'm 62, 100 isn't that old LOL
sounds like something the tin can tourists might have used, they were so tight the saying was, They came to town with a clean shirt and a 5 dollar bill and left with both
