    Yes. Same stove. He never did anything with it so after some pestering, he decided to sell it to me for what he paid for it. $75.
    I found a youtube video on how to adjust antique gas stove burners and he described these exact same needle valves. The valves in this stove are for natural gas but there are other web instructions that claim these valves can also be used for propane without modification. Tomorrow I will buy the fittings necessary to connect to my propane tank and experiment. I will post my results.

    Stove update. I disassembled and cleaned up the adjustable gas needle valves. I purchased a gas regulator and fittings to connect the stove to bottled propane. Youtube videos said to throttle the needle valves almost completely shut and adjust until i got a nice 3/8 inch long blue flame. Then adjust the air flow to eliminate any smoke and/or yellow in the flames. SUCESS! Everything seems to work as it should . I contacted a very nice guy in new england who explained to me how to convert my stove to fixed propane orfices it necessary along with suppliers where I could buy the parts. I don’t think that will be necessary, but if anyone wants that info just ask and I will share that info.

    So canning peaches is on the schedule for this morning using my new porch stove set-up. This stove is free standing without any baffles or wind screen. I will need to fab up some kind of wind block around the stove but that should be easy enough. Looks like I am in business.

    Well . . . looks like I got my mind changed for me . . . guess we'll be canning this bunch as well.

    God has been seriously good to us in our garden this year . . . have never seen it this good in my 76 years tromping around on this planet.

    We had planned on just giving them away . . . but got reminded that some of the family could use them . . . so guess I'm back in the canning business.

    Will be something to look back on this winter . . . that's for sure.

    May God bless,
    Dwight

    Since it is just the wife and I, we plant a small garden. So I might only can a few pints or quarts per day. For instance, tomorrow I will probably be doing 2 or 3 pints of green beans and maybe 2 jars of salsa total. This is a pain processing in small batches, But well worth the extra effort when winter time comes. I need to go take an inventory of empty jars I have available to fill.
