Cleaning the Sweetheart's surface hasn't been easy for me to perfect either. The cooktop is cast iron, so I clean it like cast iron. I scrape and wipe it with clean cloths or paper towels, and keep it oiled. The nickle I'm finding harder to keep shiney. I'm still looking for a product to clean it.

I think that's where having a newer stove with all the UL listings for the stove, heat shield, and floor protector help. <br /><br />Tombstone Livestock, thanks! It does seem to be coming together, doesn't it? The visual progress is the most encouraging. The stuff you don't see (wiring, insulation, structural repairs) less so. :)<br /><br />Benita, it is wonderful to eat breakfast in a warm kitchen! Our weather hasn't been terribly cold lately, so it's only getting moderate use. Still, it makes a difference.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02435811789823712254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-82062076653044501862012-01-09T07:14:37.639-05:002012-01-09T07:14:37.639-05:00I'll say you are blessed.

Meanwhile, I get a little enjoyment out of what I now think of as indoor roasting and bread-baking season, when I don't hesitate to fire up our propane stove to let it heat the house while I bake.<br /><br />I have one question. Pardon me if I missed the answer earlier. How is your insurance company liking the stove? We've heard mixed results with home owner's insurance and wood stoves.Ozark Homesteaderhttp://ozarkhomesteader.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1694364001063554832.post-66659096656742019702012-01-08T23:26:22.151-05:002012-01-08T23:26:22.151-05:00Leigh, so excited for you !

Kind of like pictures in the clouds. :)<br /><br />Sheila & Madeleine, thanks!<br /><br />Lynda, I've read about different ways to tell oven temp. I think I'll just get an oven thermometer. :)<br /><br />Thanks Candace!<br /><br />Thanks Jaime!<br /><br />Ginny, any excuse to keep the stove fired up. :)<br /><br />Tom, that is so true about how things sometimes work out. We've had to adapt our dreams to our reality as well. I'm very thankful though, that this is one thing that worked out. <br /><br />Natalie and Michelle, thanks!<br /><br />Renee, some of those really small stoves were made for coal, so they didn't need to be as big. The original fireplaces in this house had little grates for coal. I don't think they ever used wood to heat the house. <br /><br />Sylvanna and Mary Ann, thanks!<br /><br />Wooly Knits n Bits, how neat is that! Actually, our stove is a focal point as well. In fact, we didn't begin to plan the kitchen until we had it!<br /><br />Woody, oh yum! That ought to be my first baking "experiment." :)<br /><br />Paula, so good to hear from you. How funny about your word verification!<br /><br />Badgerpendous, what great memories you must have.
