Help Identifying an Oven

[liquidkangaroo]

Can anyone help identify the model of this oven? There are no markings anywhere on it except for "Homestrand Alcohol" that is on the knob. Took a gamble and purchased it for $50, hoping to get it fixed up and working.

That looks like a Kenyon Homestrand Model 500.

Agree. Looks very similar to a 3-burner Kenyon Homestrand I had on our previous boat. Stove worked great for us for years. Hard to get the oven up to high temperature, but burners always worked fine.

Thanks guys! Just ordered a tank and some black oven paint. Glad to have an indoor project to work on for the next few veryyyy colddddd days here on the Potomac. Haha

Although its hard to tell. the link is to the Model 500/505 Manual. The 500 is a 2-burner, the 505 is a 3-burner. I've never used one, however I was thinking along the same lines. I was wondering how hot or consistent an alcohol oven could heat. I've used alcohol stoves for years, but never ovens.

I bet that oven generates a lot of condensation in the winter.

Yeah I have read a lot of mixed experiences with the ovens, but for $50 it will be nice to have it as an option if I ever want/need. I'll let you know how it works once I get it up and running.
