O.K., I am really excited! I just ordered my woodcook stove! We've been saving and finally got enough. Does anyone have any experience with a Kitchen Queen? It has a huge firebox and will heat the whole house.
Do any of you make and can lemon curd? Do you have a recipe? How long is it good for if you can it?

Hi Cari, my mom has a woodcook stove and she loves and adores it! I've always wanted to make lemon curd but haven't yet. I know I've seen a few recipes for it in my masive cookbook collection, if I come across one I'll post it!

Hi Cari
I have made lemon curd on occasions and the recipe I use is
3 Lemons
7oz superfine sugar
4oz unsalted butter
2 extra large eggs
2 extra large egg yolks
Grate the lemon rind and squeeze the lemon juice into a bowl put it over a saucepan of simmering water and add the sugar and butter. Beat all the eggs together - pour the egg mixture through a sieve into the other mixture and whisk until combined.
Contuinue heating until it thickens, then can it.
It should keep for about 3 months unopened but once opened you need to store it in the refrigerator and eat within a week.
I have substituted to lemons for the same amount of oranges and made orange curd before and my friend has made lemon and lime curd which was delicious.

Sue, thank you for your recipe.
Ashley, how exciting! Good for you! When I was growing up my Mom had a beautiful antique woodcookstove. For some time we didn't have any other cook stove. All our food was cooked/baked with it. I have ALWAYS wanted an antique one of my own, but that would mean that I would have to have two wood stoves in my kitchen because we heat with wood. So I made the REALLY HARD decision to get this heating and cooking one. To tell you the truth now, I am excited about it. Can't wait!

Hubby & I looked at these after I read your post...HOW COOL!!!! We may be biting the bullet soon too! We already heat with wood, but the water heating factor is so appealing. We have huge electric bills in spite of not running air, hanging clothes outside & using all cold water for laundry.
Where did you get your stove?? & what color???
I like both the black & the white, but if we get this, the stove may be in the living room, so black will probably be the way to go.

I bet you are excited! I can't wait for you to get yours and have it installed. Mine has added a nice looking flavor to the house, something different that you don't see everyday and I like that. That must have been a wonderful experience as a child to watch your family cook on a wood cook stove) I keep seeing a nice pot of soup on a low simmer when the weather is cool. Now, I can't wait for cooler weather. I'd love to see a pic of yours. This one has a really small fire box, but if we can make it last for 5 years it will have paid for itself and then some.

Lisa, I got black. I first researched it on line for a long time and then lo and behold! the amish whomakeshem used to be local before moving to Indiana? I think. Anyway there is a local amish man who is a dealer for him. If you are serious about buying one I can email you his phone number because he is much more reasonable. For instance, these are the prices I found
PRICES-------------ON LINE----------------LOCAL AMISH DEALER
Large model 480-----2,345-------------------1,945
Small model 380 ----2,245-------------------1,845
SS Water reservoir----305---------------------270
Summer grate----------100----------------------70
Shipping----------375-400---------------------175
Needless to say, I was very excited to find the local dealer! Just a note, the online price is an independent dealer. His price is 400 more for white. It also comes in baby blue I guess.
Ashley, I have really fond memories with the stove. Food is better somehow. Yogurt made in the warming ovens-yum! Pizza! Bread! Ooh, I can't wait!
