It can be tricky to find a vintage stove that is less than 36″ wide, but if that’s what you’re looking form this stove will fit that spot.
This stove has 4 burners and a griddle up top, an oven and broiler on the right with a storage area on the left.
I always refer to O’Keefe as the Bentley of stoves – Chambers is the Rolls Royce. These makers were at the very top of the game in the 1950s and simply have no equal. As for which one is better – that depends on how you cook and what makes you happy to look at.
