I had to add insulation, but everything else is original and simply cleaned/ rebuilt. A little bit of rechroming too. | ||

Good job, Eugene! This is the stove that needed a new oven floor as I recall. How did you address that? Looks like I need to make the drive up there to see your shop. Have family in the area. Bill | ||

Beautiful job Eugene
My old girl has no regulator/thermostate and it's not terrible to regulate heat.
I use a oven themometer, and once temp is reached, it holds just fine..(as long as I read the themometer correctly) I've been using it daily for years. I'm curious as to what you used to insalate the oven for your restoration, and what they might have been used for insalation when new?

There was no insulation originally. Early insulation would have been asbestos, later fiberglass. I use an extreme high temp ceramic based insulation. The stuff is good to 2000 degrees. I was able to drop the exterior temperature of the oven by almost 100 degrees. | ||

Thank for the info..
Where Could I get the stuff?
I may do a little resto work on mine, and if I go far enough it would be nice to add. Keep looking at mine and wondering where to start to take apart! Screw heads are visible but the bolts on the others side are not all accessible… as far I can't tell. Too bad there's no online cutaway drawing | ||

Eugene, I have a 30's Detroit Jewel gas stove. The oven is calibrated on the dial and I believe it has a carbon rod in the back of the oven to regulate the temp. Where these good stoves etc. I have no information as to them what so ever. Thanks, happy baking. Gary | ||
