This makes it a serious challenge to incorporate one into a kitchen that wasn`t designed for on - also eats up a ton of space in any kitchen.Porangeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06745960955955450805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-76760851597057746352013-09-22T18:56:37.981-07:002013-09-22T18:56:37.981-07:00Hans,

From what you've described, it sounds to me like the rusted out lifter holes in the lids would be the most difficult fix, but I don't know. I'm only basing that on the fact that our Riverside Bakewell (the green and cream cookstove at the top of the page) had three new oven sides when I bought it at auction, and I've seen pictures of some nicely repaired fireboxes.<br /><br />Home Comfort stoves had good reputations in their day. Also, Edward Semmelroth of www.antiquestoves.com in Tekonsha, Michigan, couldn't say enough good things about the one he had recently restored when we visited his shop back in 2006. Since there are a fair number Home Comfort stoves still around, I wonder if you might be able to have some luck locating replacement lids and firebox linings. It might be worth a shot. I've even seen Home Comfort firebox lining pieces on ebay. It seems to me like the hole in the oven should be a fairly easy fix for a good, careful welder or metal worker.<br /><br />Keep me posted about your quest!Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928066388810835369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-22181775779902011042013-09-22T12:58:30.269-07:002013-09-22T12:58:30.269-07:00Jim,

Pretty nice but there were some small rust through spots that were open into the oven. Plus one of the firebox cast pieces was cracked through. I really liked the stove and it was in good shape other than the rust holes in the top of the oven and a couple of the lids had burn holes in the lifter hole. Could the all holes be filled or welded?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04500142821842322219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2486194406227682414.post-71014224754929161792013-09-20T06:08:16.542-07:002013-09-20T06:08:16.542-07:00You're very welcome, Jeff.
