BEAUTIFUL. PRACTICAL. SAFE. FUN. EFFICIENT.

"Retro stoves" - gas kitchen ranges made from the late 1930s through the 1950s - represent the epitome of American quality, ingenuity and design. As the centerpiece of your kitchen, a retro stove is a fun and practical way to reconnect with cooking at home.

With over 20 years of servicing, restoring, and cooking with retro stoves, we know them to be incredibly useful, efficient, and safe - hardly relics from the past. In fact, we feel they are actually more relevant to life today than "modern" stoves.

Why? Because they are built to last, through simple yet robust construction, quality materials, and mechanical repairability. Contrast that with currently made kitchen ranges, averaging a mere 10-15 years until replacement. How, in this time of climate change, can anyone not see the insanity of a major appliance that is essentially “disposable” - the absolute opposite of carbon friendly - when a properly serviced retro stove will easily last another half century?
