Period

THIS TYPE OF STOVE USED C. 1933+.

Canada

"MISS CANADA" COMBINATION COAL AND GAS RANGE WAS INTRODUCED BY MOFFAT IN 1932, AND MFD AT THEIR WESTON, ONT. PLANT. SEVERAL MODELS WERE PRODUCED, AND THEY WERE EXTREMELY POPULAR WITH CANADIAN HOMEMAKERS.

Function

TO WARM AND/OR COOK FOOD AND BEVERAGES BY MEANS OF HEAT.

Technical

MOFFAT'S "MISS CANADA" COMBINATION COAL-AND-GAS RANGE WAS THE FIRST RANGE OF ITS KIND TO FEATURE AN INSULATED OVEN. THIS RESULTED IN MORE EFFICIENT USE OF FUEL, MORE UNIFORM COOKING TEMPERATURES WITHIN THE OVEN COMPARTMENT, AND LESS HEAT ESCAPING TO WARM THE KITCHEN. AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, 'MISS CANADA' RANGES WERE OFFERED IN A VARIETY OF SIZES, STYLES & COLOURS.
