Pioneer Duchess Wood Cookstove

Pioneer Duchess Wood Cookstove

The Pioneer Duchess is the newest cookstove in the Pioneer line, with several new features designed to improve the overall cookstove experience. The most obvious difference is the legs. By lifting it off the floor, you can reach completely underneath for easy cleaning, also an adjustable leg is provided to eliminate rocking on uneven floors. In the extra space below the oven, Pioneer has added a storage drawer and enlarged the door panels to eliminate the need for a front porcelain panel.

An air louver system in the ash door that’s controlled by a lever extending out of the top has been added to replace the auxiliary draft used on the Princess.

The thermostat’s bimetal coil spring is placed in the oven to provide an exact oven temperature response.

The oven door has a broil stop that will hold the door open 2” by itself. It also can be removed by a screwdriver holding the spring arm then lifting it off with your hands.

The left and right porcelain panels spaced away from the stove wall 5/8”. This allows natural convection to occur as air in the space heats up and rises pulling cooler air in from off the floor.

Amish Built and Handcrafted In The USA
