Coal-fired cooker model 61

The coal-fired cooker is a free-standing oven for cooking and baking meals, as well as heating rooms in homes, holiday homes, eateries, and canteens. The cooker is typically fuelled by hard coal or wood. This cooker consists of a hearth lined with chamotte brick with a cast-iron grid, under which a soot pit with a slide-out metal drawer is placed. A capacious oven is built in on the left-hand side. The cooker housing is made of enamel-coated steel. Portable stoves operated in much the same way as kitchen ranges. Smoke was discharged to the chimney through a cast iron, and later a steel, pipe. In the left corner of the stove top is a flue gas outlet, marked with the letter “L” (left), adjusted by hand with a smoke damper whose handle was in the stove top.
