coal stoves

The other day I mentioned coal-burning stoves and this morning I took pictures of this one - it's used by the folks who run a little breakfast shop out of one of the restaurants down the street from our apartment. The restaurant is owned by other people who run it for lunch and dinner, while the breakfast crew brings in all their things early in the morning and is out by about nine. These stoves are settled in the back of this flatbed bicycle.




Sometimes when we walk by they're still radiating heat. At some point I'll see if I can get a picture while they're fired up. You can see the coal "rounds" at the bottom of each channel, here. This one fits four rounds - I've seen them family sized where they only fit one round, too.
