Vermont Bun Baker Cookstove 1500

Vermont Bun Baker Cookstove 1500

The Vermont Bun Baker cook stove will cook everything from crispy, fresh bread to succulent, juicy roasts. The cook top takes 4 large saucepans or pots and the 2 removable rings make it ideal for wok cooking. A bypass damper allows hot flue gases to circulate around the oven before escaping through the flue outlet. While it's cooking, it spreads cozy warmth through your kitchen or living area. This cookstove will heat 750 - 1,000 sq. ft. depending on the outdoor temperatures and how well insulated a home is.

Note: The Vermont Bun Baker is the same stove as the Baker's Oven. Our distributor has been given the privilege by the Australian manufacturer of naming it the Vermont Bun Baker and adding the option of soapstone to this unique cook stove. The Vermont Bun Baker 1500 is adorned with 1,200 lbs of 2 3/8" thick Soapstone. The Veneer, Hearth and Wood Storage Pedestal are all included!

Firebricks increase thermal mass, stabilize temperatures and protect the firebox. In addition, the firebox is lined with replaceable cast iron panels.

Depending upon the type of wood you burn, you could be cleaning as little as once every six weeks. A convenient inspection plate inside the base of the oven provides access for cleaning any products of combustion that build up within the bypass area.

  • Bottom and rear heat shielding. Enables closer clearances to combustible materials.

Great stove!

We have owned the Bakers Oven for over 7yrs. We use it in our 36' Avion coach as I am also a professional firefighter. http://wildfirefighters.com/ When we're fighting fires up in the Rocky Mountains, even in the summer, it can get fairly chilly (30s) at night. We'll build a fire in Bakers Oven at night to stay warm and it will be ready to heat up a pot of coffee in the morning. Although I'm not much of a cook, I've made a pot of chilli on the cook-top. I've also used the oven to heat up frozen pizza's, lasagna and garlic bread. This stove does have a small firebox, but I can get a overnight burn out of it. The Soapstone option really makes a big difference in storing and radiating the heat and takes a good stove and makes it a great stove! (I am the owner of Obadiah's)
Exactly what we hoped for!

We had the opportunity to "fire'er up" already and we got the inside temp of the house up to a toasty 82f. We put a load of wood in before we went to sleep and the soap stone was still warm in the am and the house was a good 20 degrees warmer than out side. The Vermont Bun baker is exactly what we hoped it would be!
Great stove!

We use our stove to heat our 1200sqft home. It keeps it at 72 degrees with outside temperature of 26 degrees. A load of wood lasts about five hours. The only problem is the small firebox. You learn to cut wood in a different shape. Watch YouTube. Overall, I would buy another one if we move, or a replacement. I'm sure the fuel would last longer if we packed it into it. Great stove!
