I am not an electrician, but I do have a generator and have had to use it a number of times because of weather caused power outages.

Why don't you take the microwave out to the generator and...

You will not be disappointed. Really top notch stuff. Most of the other canners are just junk - flimsy. American is really heavy aluminum. Good luck. Have fun.

I haved a large all american canner that I use for canning vegetables, etc. Well made. I would highly recommend them. The one I have will handle 9 quart jars. I had a larger one, but I lent it to...

I have an odd collection of Henkels, Sabatier, Chicago Cutlery, and some old butcher knives I inherited from my grandparents.

About 25 years ago I purchased an old Glenwood K range with tan enamel in mint condition for $150. There were some pieces missing - notably the entire firebox as this stove had been...

I love vinegar! I like it so much, I make my own cider vinegar.

I have about 8 apple trees, and I had a friend who purchased a cider mill and started running it during apple season. I used to...

No hickory to speak of here in Rhode Island. There are a few "Shagbark" Hickory around, but they are rare. The most popular woods here are Maple and Oak (both white and red).
We have Locust, which...

I agree with karmakanic. I work in the insurance industry, and it has always been said that GI's were able to buy GI life insurance during the wars. Usually, his family was the beneficiary. When a...

I have been burning wood as a heat source in Rhode Island for about 26 years. I have 4 coalstoves/woodstoves in my log home, including a restored Glenwood K kitchen range. I buy nothing but oak and...
