Oh I must respond to this one. My grandmother had a woodburning stove in her kithen, too. In the fifties, her children bought her a new Tappan gas range. Well, she would not hear of removing that old stove. So they installed the Tappan next to the old stove. She did finally begin using the new one to boil water to make her "drip" coffee. She fired up the old wood stove for all of her cooking and baking. I loved biscuits and sugar cookies from that old stove.
