Upgrade Options
The Rancher Wood cook stove comes as a standard appliance with all homesteads, it is a strong utilitarian cook stove coupled with a Coleman camp oven and you can pull off an off grid dinner party like a champ however for the more tradition minded we offer a baker cook stove with 7 gallon water reservoir. $2500.00 installed.
Baker's choice wood cook stove, everything one will ever need for cooking and heating needs, adjust the baffles properly and there will be hot coals to greet you in the morning!
Wood fueled hot water heaters are a standard appliance, not the instant hot water generally associated with custom living, however with a lil motivation and determination, producing hot water can be rewarding and exhilarating!!!
However we do offer a natural gas water heater with a Propane manifold. 850.00 installed with a rough exterior penetration for tank marriage.
