Rainjer, those look great. The "Wagner 1892"is very similar to mine except mine has long metal handles instead of the type you have.

My quest has always been to make "crunchy" waffles. The amount of oil and sugar seems to make the difference. Sometimes mine are crunchy but sometimes they are softer.

Regardless, they are always a hit especially if the syrup is good.

I've used charcoal as well as a coleman stove for heat and both seem to work.
This is one of my favorite pictures.

Catching the right (350 degrees) temperature is part of the success. The first time I used the Wagner I had it so hot it cooked both sides in about 35 seconds.

So what's the difference in cooking on a High Frame and a low frame? Does it really matter since we can regulate the flame? Danny

Danny,
According to my Alfred Andresen book (copyright 1905) the high frame is for gas stoves and the low ring is for ordinary stoves. I'm going to assume that an "ordinary stove" would be a wood cook stove.
The book also mentions that the high gas ring is an extra 50 cents.
You could buy the complete waffle iron for $1.25 at a dealer or express shipping for $1.75.

Ive been about this and wonder if the low frame is for an open hole in a wood stove so you can turn the waffle iron. The high frame would be needed since there is no hole and you would have to clear the burners to turn the iron. I have a low frame and just lift and rotate over the burners. Does anyone really know Danny

Rather than start a new thread I felt it was better to resurrect this one. Besides I like teasing Kurt about his stolen Steak and Shake mug.

Had oats and bacon for breakfast today. The bacon turned out to be that Maple flavored S&*T I hate so I sat there staring at my oats. I can't have oats without bacon !

Had about 3/4 of a measuring cup of oats thinned with cream and sweetened with brown sugar. I got up and found the buckwheat pancake mix and put a cup in the thinned oats. Old what's her name looked at me like I lost my mind.( not unusual when I cook) . Added 1 large duck egg and a teaspoon or so of oil and stirred. The mix was a bit thick so I added a splash of hot water. Picked up the brown sugar and added a heaping tablespoon and a teaspoon of cinnamon. Drug out the waffle iron and made a really great waffle. I would exagerate slightly if I claimed it to be a 2 pound waffle but it was heavier and real filling. Yes I will do it again it was great !

Good Job Bob. I now have a real "Waffle House" mug too.

Before long (May) we'll be buried in waffles. Can't wait.
