Any info on this stove would be helpful. I am also looking for an owners manual on my grandparents Glendale 400 wood/gas combo manufactured by Leonard & Baker Co. of Syracuse, NY between 1920 & 1925.

Also a friend of mine said his grandmother would send him to the shed to get "biscuit wood" , small limbs from alder trees as it produces a quick hot fire I just purchased a Walker & Pratt Village Crawford Royal built approx. 1890-1905, any leads on original owners manuals ?

I haven't used emery cloth this way, but I think the difference between emery cloth and sandpaper is the backing... emery cloth is often used on metal and has a fabric-like backing. I have seen it in regular box stores in the paint section. Sharon, oh yes… :o) I just use a fine steel wool pad to remove anything that gets cooked onto the surface, and it works great.

And if so how did you clean it? Our manual said to use an emery cloth. Can you get them at regular boxstores? And what is the difference between an emery cloth and sandpaper?

In fact the turkey is in the oven now and all the rest of our meal will be cook there as well. I too over the years have learned much about cooking on and baking in this wonderful old stove.
