I must say, this was totally my own idea! I just saw these plates along the RR track and figured it would work upside down on the stove. I did not steal the idea from a cowboy, rodeo rider, or a cranky guy from the midwest! But, it works well.

Does not get hot enough for cooking due to the air gap, but that is why we call it the warming plate. It does not boil away the water in the coffee pot, but keeps it nice and warm till morning, and we put stuff on it that has already been cooked to keep it from getting cold.

Can you cook on the stove itself?

See here's the thing. Shipping is what absolutely kills me here on Kodiak. Not only do items need to be shipped a long distance North. They also have to be shipped via tug and barge or container ship across water to get to Kodiak. Very costly and time consuming! Usually resulting in substantial increases in price for an item that has any kind of weight to it. As far as materials? Being as Kodiak is one of the top three biggest commercial fishing ports in the US. Materials like steel and hydraulic systems and parts are easy to come by. Be them new or used. I haven't looked deep into commercial splitters yet. However, Eastonmade dosent return many calls or emails! I'll say that much!

Looks like a cabin should! That stove will run you guys outside once the walls are insolated! I like that Skookem table too!

Wagner is good quality old school cast! I have a few Wagner's myself! Griswald is also good, and not too hard to find.

This Gris however, is fairly rare, turn of the century, and nickel coated! Cast Iron collecting is sort of a hobby of mine. Got a few rare pieces. Few horse shoe trivits too! IMOP, There is no comparing modern stainless or Teflon coated non stick pans to cast for cooking. "If" you know how to cook on cast. Especially if your cast is good quality!

I'm sure @MustangMike milled that table with a Stihl .

 

[Kodiak Kid]

Careful guys we don't want the scrounging firewood stuff to get out of proportion to the other stuff.

Dose that mean this is to out of proportion? My favorite wheel barrow finally bit the dust. This is all I could find to replace it!

MustangMike made that table. Milled the wood with his chainsaws. Most that cabin was made with the help of Stihl saws

If you’re a cast iron guy, you need to hookup with @svk. That guy is the cast iron man

Depends on what you buy, many you'd need to sell 3. The latest greatest is gonna be 80k.

Gris Dutch Ovens are harder to come across than their skillets! I've wanted one for some time! I gotta a couple more modern Lodge made Dutch's. Just not quite as good as the older lighter weight cast. However, Lodge is the only North American cast company STIHL in business!

If you rotate that picture a bit, it looks a lot like many guys when they see a saw they want .
