My stove is a dumb as it gets. It burns wood and produces heat. More wood and/or more air -> more heat. Living in the countryside has its advantages, I guess it will be hard to cook on a wood-burning stove when you live in a city or suburban environment - not to mention the problem of getting wood to feed the thing, even though it is really quite effective - the equivalent of about 1 m of 2x4 of wood is enough for a 2-course meal for 4 people (not that I feed it 2x4's of course). As an added benefit it heats up the kitchen sufficiently to be used as the only source of heat in spring and early fall here in the Swedish countryside.
- dredmorbius 9y agoThe point remains that it is not possible to find, within a typical appliance store, a gas or electric oven/range which has no electronic componentry. I suspect your stove is not currently in production? It's been suggested that if I were serious about a fully analogue stove I might consider a restaurant model. I'll keep that in mind, though these tend not to be sized to typical home dimensions. And I suspect many of these are also increasingly being electronified.

- Yetanfou 9y agoWhile my specific cook stove is not produced anymore, others are, eg [1], [2], [3]. The stove used for heating the house is available at any Jøtul dealer, as are plenty others. Natural-gas burning cook stoves can be had at the likes of IKEA [4], not a bit or byte in sight on these things. Maybe things are different on this (European) side of the ocean? I do find a few in the US-version of IKEA as well [5] so there seems to be some choice left.
