We've had some delightful old photographs this year from Houghton County Historical Society, Michigan Tech Archives, and several regular Pasty Cam Watchers. Today's window on the past (from the HCHS collection) brings back the aroma of hot pasties from the kitchen. I love the detail of this shot... the old stove, hot kettle for tea, draft control on the wall, Mama's dress and shoes and hair in a bun... and those beauties in the pie plates. Mmmmm :o)

Just a side note from your editor: we do payroll for our cooks at Pasty Central on the 15th and the last day of each month. Today's time cards are laying here next to my computer... and they are literally radiating pasty aroma. Mmmmm. Maybe we should develop some kind of pasty-flavored air freshener?

This wonderful lady is now gracing one of our new Pasty t-shirts as well. Be sure to stop by our Pasty Central tent at this year's Bridgefest 2001 Festival on the Houghton Waterfront if you are in the area this week-end. You'll be able to check out our new line of Pasty Softwear clothing and purchase it there or have it sent anywhere in the country. For those of you not in the Copper Country this week, you can visit our new gift section online.

This picture reminds me of how my wife's uncle used to tell his kids that Aunt Edith, my wifes mother, made her pasties so big she had to put one end on a chair while the other end cooked in the oven. Now that is a man sized pasty.

Wow. This picture brings back memories. I lived in Laurium with my parents and sisters in the 1950's and we had one of those old wood stoves in the kitchen. It always seemed like the place to be especially during winter. Even our dog loved to sleep near it.

Just made a batch of 18 last week...can still smell them! Wish we could bottle it!

Does anyone remember that damper control on the wall? It went to the Holland furnace in the basement. There was a warm air register in the first floor above the furnace and each bedroom on the second floor had a smaller register in it's floor. These had dampers in them so the amount of air could be controlled. Now we have automatic thermostats to do all of this. How about the Heatrola(sp)wood heater in the living room? I also remember a Jungers 2 burner oil stove in the livingroom, am I old or what?!!

I remember that old damper control. Talk about modern conveniences! Didn't even have to go down the basement. We had one of those wood/coal Heatrolas, too. Didn't have one of those darned
Jungers 'til after I was married. Long as that burner was clean it would roast you out. But when we tried to turn it down, the thing would get all carboned up and NO heat would come. Used rubbing alcohol to get it started. Nah, R, we're not really that old yet. Although we do have a good start on it. :o)

THIS WONDERFUL LADY WAS MY GRANDMOTHER, EDITH MOYLE FILLBROOK. SHE LIVED ON BARAGA STREET IN HOUGHTON. THE OVEN WAS THE SAME USED FOR MY MOTHER AND HER TWIN SISTER AS AN INCUBATOR WHEN THEY WERE BORN. THEY WERE SO SMALL THEY WERE PUT IN BOXES WITH COTTON AND PLACED IN THE OVEN. THEN WERE FED WITH EYE DROPS. LIVED TO RIPE OLD AGES. MY GRANDMA MADE THE BEST PASTIES EVER. THIS PICTURE WAS ALSO IN THE DETROIT FREE PRESS. THANK YOU FOR THE WONDERFUL SURPISE AND MEMORIES.

PASTY ORDER ARRIVED WED, JUNE 13TH. ON THE DINNER TABLE BY 6PM AND ONCE AGAIN A FINE JOB YOU PEOPLE DID. THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THE U.P. TO THE REST OF THE COUNTRY.

I'd like to have "Cookie" contact me so that I can have some more history about your grandmother. Edith Moyle Fillbrook. I just returned from our Pasty Softwear booth at Bridgefest and everybody wanted to know who is the lady baking pasties on our t-shirt. Now I have an answer for future customers.

Am looking for instructions on adjusting and operating Jungers Kerosene Heaters.Some people call them oil heaters, but they do not operate well on fuel oil, no matter how light it is.

I have a jungers oil cooking stove. It has 4 burner rings and one "o" shaped ring that I think is supposed to go on the bottom of the heating rings. My stove burns too black and sooty. Is there missing parts or do I not have it hooked up correctly? If you have an idea or a manual PLEASE send it to me. E-mail me at slmwhtanddynomite@yahoo.com

Did you get any answer on the Jungers request from Oct of 2001. I am also looking for such information. Any help????

I too have a Jungers heater that doesnt work quite right. Does anyone have a source for info or manuals?

I have a Jungers two burner oil heater and the carburator does not work like it should, I can't regulate the fuel flow, I think just worn out. Does anyone have any info on carb settings or rebuild kits? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have it in my cabin and would very much like to continue using it in cold northern Wisconsin days.

I was able to purchase a Jungers 1950s operations manual on Ebay. I don't know exactly what model Jungers stove it is for. I have a single burner stove I am hoping that the carburator information in this manual will help me. If it has information that could help I will post is here.

Hello,I also have a Jungers with two small burners that I can't seem to get adjusted right. If Kurt or anyone else has info that may help me please let me know.

I have copies of a complete manual for a double burner Jungers oil heater. I have one in my camp and I think this is the best heater ever built!
If anyone needs a manual contact me.

Hi I'm also looking for a manual for a double burner Junger. It would come in really handy

I am using a single burner Jungers to heat my
shop. I feed it red diesel and it works great. If
anyone needs info about how to assemble the
burner or light it I may be able to help.

Looking for Jungers 2 burner Instruction info. Appreciate the help..Any parts out there?

John
See if the info at http://www.kountrylife.com/cgi-bin/topic.cgi?bd=forum&th=38667 and http://www.kountrylife.com/cgi-bin/topic.cgi?bd=forum&th=46072 is any help.

I also have a Jungers model G85 it uses kerosone. I was woundering if any body could pass information on it to me. My husband wants to try using #1 fuel oil in it. Any information would really help.

I recently got a jungers heater but can't get it to work right or to light. Any info would be nice.

I too am looking for info on adjusting burners on the Jungers oil stoves.

I have a Jungers single burner heater and would like some info on it. It looks to be in really good shape, but there is no wick in the burner where I would expect to see one. Can anyone tell me if this heater does require a wick and if so, where one might be available? Thanks for any help.

I, too, am looking for copies of jungers oil burner stove manuals. Dad has both single & double burner stoves. I am getting at least one of them for my new house but don't have any idea of how to operate them or fix them. If I could get a copy of a manual for either one or both it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks

We have a two burner jungers stove that we use to heat a warming house with. When it works right it is great, however, I am unable to set the carberators correctly. I have no manual or instructions of any kind on it. If any one can help me I would greatly appreciate it.

I live in Las Vegas Nevada and am looking for a Jungers two burner stove that has all the rings is complete and works like one I had in the 50's. The burners were not the same size so you had great control of the heat output. Bumped into it once and still have the burn mark on my backside.

I need some help in finding a manual for a jungers stove serial # G794476 or instructions on how to start Thanxs

Hi all,
I just inherited a couple of Jungers heaters.
One has a carb, the other doesn’t. Both have small rear tanks, but seem to be missing the mounting brackets. Brown exteriors look nice on both.

Do these ol’ stoves have any value? I’d like to find a good home for both of them, otherwise I’ll need to take them to the dump.
I can take digital pictures and get serial numbers if needed.

In the previous message about the Jungers heaters, make sure you delete the REMOVE from my email address before sending. Thanks. Mark

I have a Jungers two burner heater. It starts and works well, but an instruction manual and info on fine tuning one of these would be handy to have. Any information on where to find one would be very helpful. Can't beat these heaters.

WE HAVE A WOOD/ COAL POTBELLY STOVE FOR SALE !36" TALL, BELLY 56", 2 PLACES ON TOP TO COOK ON, VARIETY BRAND # 118. EXEC.COND,early 1900,s

I have a Jungers D66 two burner stove that I am trying to locate a Detroit safety float valve (Type H) for and a Jungers one burner cook stove that I need a reservoir for. Please contact me if you have one you are willing to sell.

I have two Jungers 2 burner kero/fuel oil stoves, both have carburetors and rear 5+ gal. tanks, one I use and one is available for sale, I would like information about BTU out put of these stoves at their various settings.

I have a two burner Jungers. I am wondering what the value of it is. Anybody know. I am thinking about selling it.

I have a 4 burner Jungers Bluefire oil burning heater.
I just purchased it from an auction.
Complete. manual included.
I do not have room for it. I have purchased too much from auctions and need to start getting rid of most.
If anyone know the history/value/interested please contact me.

That plate with the instructions on the top of the carb is the top of the carb, there is no other plate used. Basically all they say is the max and minimum feed rates per burner in CC's. 1 CC = .033 ounces and the settings of the burner from lowest to highest (1-6). To light the burners you must place about 2 ounces of alcohol (denatured) in the cavity below the burner cans and light it with a long lighter(if lighting both cans you must do it at the same time!! Never try and jump start a can from the other!! Shut it down, allow it to cool and then light them both), let the alcohol burn for about 4-5 minutes and then turn the black knob up top to #1 setting (lowest) before the alcohol goes out. leave the door open about an inch and watch the oil/kerosene start to vaporize, if it's hot enough it will eventually get really smokey for a couple of minutes and then suddenly take off, you will see the can start to glow very red and as you increase the fuel flow you may even see a perfect blue flame in the center of the can lid. After it starts running good ( and this takes time!! don't expect immediate heat and flames!!) close the door. Keep your cans and burner bases clean!! Take them apart occasionally and wire brush them, scrape out all the crud where the fuel flows in the base and vacuum out the inside of the stove. Also run a good fuel filter before it enters the carb, most heating places sell very efficient screw on fuel filters. Fuel is everything!! The cleaner the better!! Kero is best and #1 works also. Also if you have a tank mounted to the back of your furnace it is for Kerosene or #1 oil depending on what you burned, most people in the old days had large storeage tanks out by the barn or garage and brought fuel in every night to heat with, it was usually very cold and the tank helped pre-heat it which assisted in complete combustion. These heaters are extremely economical to run and usually only burn about 1 3/4 gallons of fuel per burner wide open per day. Hope this helps!!

BE CAREFUL -- ALCOHOL IS EXPLOSIVE.

This is a great picture. I bought a sweatshirt with this picture on it for my brother.

Am hoping that it will be re-issued as a t shirt!

I grew up a few blocks away from baraga
street, on Houghton avenue. A few years after
this picture was taken thought, late 70's early
80's

Tim in Oscoda, you made them and didn't even send us any? So Sad!!! Love ya anyway!
Charlie, thank you for this great site to go to in the a.m. and p.m. to see who has added to it.
Thanks for your hard work.

For any of you Jungers fans: My grandmother had 3 of these things in her house, 1 big one and 2 small ones. They are defunct now, but I came across the instruction booklets (have 2). If anyone is interested, email me and I will be glad to send you 1 of the booklet

I have a two burner Jungers I am replaceing
with a forced air furnace.
If I were to sell the jungers,what would it be worth.

Brian, what model is it? Look at where the 2 black knobs are on the back side, should say right below them on the chrome plating..Was it working recently? Where in MN are you located? Let me know and I might be able to help you figure what it's worth..
