Meet the Pioneer Princess Wood Fired Stove

The Day it was put in the house 

Hello and a great big welcome. So some days I have so many ideas as to what to share. Then other days no idea at all. Well today was one of those days. I have had a journal block. Perhaps I could use ideas and suggestions from others. Like what to write about in February. I am still reading The Poisonwood Bible. The author Barbara Kingsolver is amazing. To even think to have a tiny ounce of her writing skills would be incredible. I have read several of her books. This one has taken a bit of time. 

Any who back to the Pioneer Princess this is the video of the day it arrived. Long story short we were to pay for it when it was ready paying monies as we went like a layaway. It was very costly. This was a different time in our lives. Well my daughter Alexis had to pay for it and then I paid her back once I could. I tell you we have incredible children. Grown adults but always my daughter and sons. The day we brought it in the house was something. It took everyone. It weighs approximately 650 pounds however if you have one with a water reservoir it weighs approximately 700 lbs. 

see the very first video at the top of the day it was brought into the house. 

I always love using it. It cooks amazingly and so well worth everything. It allows us to heat our house and cook our foods. Here in this picture we had moved it over after the first year of being where it went we arrived at our new home. 

Cooking a Sunday meal in it 
If you want a great off-grid stove this is it!!! 

I sometimes cook right on top of the stove top this was homemade tortillas. Colby always loves when I make them. I haven’t done it in a long time now.

This is just last week. Bruce has been doing most of the cooking lately which is a true blessing for me. I am always so grateful for him. We had made potatoes. Colby loves putting malt vinegar on his potatoes. 

The firebox the bottom is the ash box 

These were really delicious first time we had them. They are tiny pork ribs. 

Cooking right on the top of the cooktop. 

She’s just so lovely for a stove if it can be that. 

Biscuits going in …….?

This was its first place we had it. Which Bruce moved over like a year later. 

First time I ever cooked in it 

This was the day we first saw it in the store Lehmans in Ohio. We actually ordered it from https://www.discountstoves.net/Pioneer-Princess-UL-C-Wood-Burning-Cookstove-p/ppul.htm

It took about 8 months to ship from the time we ordered it. We payed a lot less than that price of today. It was back in 2020 weeks had ordered ours. Things were in shortages then so they added more cost as it went along as steel had increased in prices. The enamel coating was in shortages too. Perhaps not today???  

Bruce has been having headaches here lately. I tell him to drink more water. Just a reminder for all of us. Much love and hugs. 

Good vibes,
