On the lighter side, I have very fond childhood memories of Christmas Eves at my grandparents house, where my grandmother would prepare a traditional Czech/Slovak holiday meal on a big stove similar (but less fancy) to the one on the Jewett card- I liked being allowed to open the firebox door and add more wood to the fire under her direction as she stirred, flipped, fried, etc. And the meal was always wonderful, I have no idea how she could do all that on such a 'low-tech' stove.
