Gas Stove for the Dining Table
The stove is made of one piece of No. 6 gauge brass wire and a 6-in. length of ¹⁄₂-in. gas pipe, A. Drill six ¹⁄₁₆-in. holes in the side of the pipe, spacing them evenly. Turn a cap on one end of the pipe and fit a hose cock on the other. Start with the ends of the wire and make one turn around the pipe, then make loops at both sides, to serve as feet, and shoulders, on which to set the bread in making toast. From this point, where the wires come together, twist them for a length of 6 in. They are then spread and formed into a circle about 4 in. in diameter. The other side, or upright, is made in the same manner as making the first part.
The Stove Takes the Place of an Electric Stove Where There is Only a Gas Supply
A piece of sheet metal, B, is cut to fit the space between the wires, allowing projections at the upper and lower outside edges for bending around the upright twisted wires. The entire stove can be nickelplated if desired. It can be used in the same manner as an electric stove and for the same purposes where a home is supplied only with gas.—Contributed by E. L.
