wood cook stove parts

[melco]

Hi, my husband and I are going to look at a cook stove that has the eyes missing. Are these parts that can be bought and if so does anyone have a website that we could look at. We arent sure if we are purchasing it or not but I am trying to make sure there are replacement parts for old cook stoves. Thanks for any info.

When I was in the wood burning mode about 30 years ago cookstove parts were available in old roadside dumps. Most of those have long since been cleaned out by the scrappers looking for iron to be recycled. You might check with some of the better hardware stores for replacement eyes. If you cant find them, they are easily made. Most any welding shop can cut you some out of some flat plate.

Some items are still available and there are some reproduction items available..

Do a web search and see what you find..

I do know that there is a place that restores old cook stoves

Here's the correct link (sorry 7S, that one's slightly off).

It depends on the stove and what part you need, you'd just have to hunt around. Or, as YH said above, you can get a welding shop to make some parts.

Here's a few more sites:

Good luck!

If it's a Monarch, made in WI, they have all the old drawings and can make any part. It is expensive but if the stove is priced right, worth it.

You can have someone who works with metal or wood stoves either make the parts or weld pieces together. They can be hard to find depending on the state though...

Thanks everyone we ended buying another one which ahs been fully restored. We will be picking it up Saturday. What a blessing. I guess my next questions will be about how to cook with it.

Practice, practice, Practice..

You will learn where the "sweet spot" is and where the warming spots are..

First thing is to learn to keep an even/steady fire.
