most all of them are antiques from said era but i havnt had luck finding a spoke shave. but now i have one. now to look for a round bottomed spoke shave...

Hey I have that stove...

But, I picked it up this winter and have not put it to use yet. My wife likes the ability to make toast :-)

One thing of note it that it needs regulator to use it, there is not one on it.

If you want some pictures of it let me know, just sitting in the garage right now.

Can you fit a small muffin tin in that oven space? Or a pan of fish fillets to broil?

They had one on display in Lubbock awhile back. IIRC the oven part will hold about one slice of bread at a time....

Overall dimensions: 13-1/2" L x 24-1/2" W x 7-3/4" H

from the link at the HF website.

The "oven part" is under the "grill part" and is where it broils.

I bouth the unit just like this but without the little oven. I did this based on reviews in this forum at the time that said the little oven wasn't used by many.

The newer unit like mine now has auto ignition, which is a nice feature.

However, my wife wanted more countertop, so 3 weeks ago I upgraded to a Camp Chef Expedition 2x, Costco, $99.00. It stands on legs beside the trailer.

It has the advantage of allowing a dutch oven to be placed over it, and the legs can go down into the grate. This proved very valuable on my last campout as I ran out of charcoal!
