Yeah have to start a fire to cook a meal. It does regulate temp pretty well it has a lever on the back to send the heat out of the chimney or keep it in the oven if you want to bake something.

No it’s in an old 1880s off the grid mining cabin that’s been in my family. This stove was my great great grandmothers

Depending on the time of year and location in the house you may never let it go completely out either as they also heat well.

It is also used to heat the place. Definitely puts off a good amount of heat

The water heater is on the left hand side. It had a lid and use a pot to scoop hot water out of it

Oh that’s smart talk about efficiency. I have a solar water heater that is used to heat water at this place.

Yeah my inlaws house (in rural UK) runs a rayburn like this stove. They keep it hot all through winter, it's hooked up to the hot water that runs throughout the house. Combined with 2 other fire stoves, that's how the house is heated.
