Click on pictures to enlarge The Kitchen Queen Firebox A big advantage that Kitchen Queen has over most other wood cookstoves is the size of the firebox. Old models in particular tended to have very small fireboxes and, as mentioned before, were so poorly located that natural heat convection was hindered rather than helped. The both models of Kitchen Queen comes equipped with grates and a large ash pan for easy, clean ash removal. The ashes do not have to be shaken down to allow draft to get to the fire. Air is directed in through the door through a baffle that causes the air to be preheated before it enters the firebox making for a more efficient and hotter fire.

Click on picture to enlarge The Kitchen Queen wood cook stove Big Difference The big difference between the Kitchen Queen wood cook stove and all other cookstoves that we know of is the route the heat and flue gases take around the oven. All other stoves run the heat over the top of the oven and down the far side, often past a cooling surface such as a reservoir. Then it goes under the oven, where most of the time the flue gases have dropped below 250 degrees. Then these gases will condense or liquefy into liquid creosote leaving a sticky mess, not to say anything of rotting out the stove. In this method all your heat must be radiated down into the oven. And heat does not readily travel down, therefore most of your heat will be in the top of the oven, resulting in bread being burned on top and under baked on the bottom. The heat and flue gases on the Kitchen Queen are directed under the oven first. And that is where you want the most heat b2caLL~ heat naturally travels up. It will actually flow up through the oven resulting in an evenly heated oven. N ext, the heat travels up the far side, with never a cooling surface to cool down the gases. Then over the top where there is still plenty of heat left to radiate down into the oven to nicely brown your bread or whatever. Your bread will never come out under baked on the bottom and over baked on the top. Another big Kitchen Queen difference is the reservoir. It is located on the back behind the top shelf where it will not take up any extra floor space. The water is not just heated by heat radiating from the stove. It has a stainless steel coil right in the firebox that will naturally circulate the water through the firebox and back into the reservoir. In other words, you have plenty of hot water all the time with our large 24 gallon capacity reservoir and handy tap within easy reach. No more dipping water out of a small hole. Fill your tea kettle or pan with hot water right out of a faucet, like you would in the sink. Last, but not least, is the fire door. The model 480 Kitchen Queen has a large 14x16 inch opening and will take logs up to 20 inches long. The 380 Kitchen Queen door is 14x12 inches and will take logs up to 18 inches long. No more splitting wood down to fine kindling all the time. |

No More Hot Water Bills
Enjoying the luxury of hot water can cost a family as much as $500 a year. Not so if you own a Kitchen Queen. This stove completely eliminates the need to run a conventional hot water heater, And the real beauty is your water is heated with energy that would otherwise be lost to the environment. You actually get free hot water while your food is being cooked and your house is being warmed. At your option, your stove can be fitted with a stainless steel coil inside the firebox. This coil can either connect to a 25 gallon reservoir that fits neatly onto the back of the stove, or it can connect to a remote tank. In either case, water circulates through the system using the thermosyphon principle. This simply means that heated water rises and colder water falls. No pumps or pressure tanks are needed. Hot water is drawn from the system at a faucet conveniently located on the right side of the stove. Again, we have taken efficiency into consideration and placed these coils on a part of the firebox that does not come in contact with the hot gases that circulate around the oven. Your situation might suggest connecting your Kitchen Queen to a remote tank. This tank might even be located upstairs, but unless you have a pressure tank of a water source that is higher than the house, your will have to carry water upstairs to fill the tank. Regardless of where the tank is located, the thermosyphon principle adequately circulates water through the system. How much hot water can the Kitchen Queen produce? It can easily heat 40 gallons per hour, which is an adequate amount to take care of a large family's needs. And if you are concerned that hot water in summer will be a problem, consider the ease of connecting a solar heater to the system |

Click on pictures to enlarge The Kitchen Queen's Even ... Heating Oven One of the more common complaints that cooks have with wood ranges is difficulty in keeping the oven evenly heated. We are pleased to announce that with the Kitchen Queen, such a problem has been eliminated. Again, it has to do with the fact that we routed the heat underneath the oven first. Look back to Figure 1 and grandma's cookstove. The top on the oven is heated first. Will the heat fall to the bottom of the oven? Never! Heat rises. Now compare the Kitchen Queen in Figure 2. With the fire directed under the oven first, the bottom of the oven will heat first. The heat will then move upward naturally. Remember, the Kitchen Queen works with natural heat convection, not against it. The Model 480 Kitchen Queen has a large eight .. loaf oven. The Model 380 Kitchen Queen will bake six loaves at once. Both have three shelves. The bottom shelf is heavy .. duty so it can be pulled out and used as a testing shelf. Built .. in thermometers are standard.
