1945 vintage Canberra Metters stove.
About 15 years ago we were given an old fuel stove, I built it into a wood fired barbeque in the garden and every so often we fire it up and cook lunch or dinner. Tonight it was a mushroom and leek quiche. We have about one hundred Eucalypts on our property so finding enough dead branches for fuel is not a problem, The Co2 released gets absorbed by the surrounding trees, that's my theory anyway.
It takes about 30 minutes to get it up to the required temperature, amazingly after almost 70 years the temperature gauge on the door still works, once it has reached 400f it holds that heat for at least an hour. A couple of iced beers while I am cooking followed by a good Shiraz with the meal makes for a very pleasant dinner.
