Canning and stove repair

[Spike188]

Our Heartland Legacy range is 23 years old with a front burner ignition issue. A former coworker at Heartland had a stainless steel Heartland Metro that was end of life. While cannibalize the Metro for parts.

I thought a stainless oven door on a black stove would look good, especially since Merri is planning on redoing our kitchen counter top in stainless steel.

The original ones door was black.

Before getting a pressure cooker for canning, water bath canning was the only option. Several years ago I drowned the burner and it ruined the igniter. Friday was canning day.

13 quart of peaches are now ready as winter comfort food.

Nice work. Looks good.

Growing up we did similar using a neighbors Jennair electric cooktop units parts to rebuild my mothers Jennair electric stove. We replaced the burner outlets and wiring to get the electric burners working again. I got good money for the spare cook top units and knobs on ebay too

Nice upgrade on the stove Eugene . Due to the shear volume of jars we can , we do ours in the garage (our summer kitchen ). We also start canning first of August so it keeps the heat out of the house . Whether you are doing a small run our your favourite treats or supplementing your groceries for the year , there is massive satisfaction in making your own . I recommend everyone make a little of your own each year . For those that can not , go buy some home made from the farmer market . The quality and taste is far superior then what you get from a factory .

Some houses years ago had summer and winter kitchens. Summer stove and a winter stove.

When I was a kid, we had elderly neighbours that were my surrogate grand parents, as my were over seas. They used a wood fired cook stove all winter and took it out in the summer to clean it and the chimney and have more space in the kitchen. I guess not related, but fond memories.
