My stove is a dumb as it gets. It burns wood and produces heat. More wood and/or more air -> more heat. Living in the countryside has its advantages, I guess it will be hard to cook on a wood-burning stove when you live in a city or suburban environment - not to mention the problem of getting wood to feed the thing, even though it is really quite effective - the equivalent of about 1 m of 2x4 of wood is enough for a…

The point remains that it is not possible to find, within a typical appliance store, a gas or electric oven/range which has no electronic componentry. I suspect your stove is not currently in production? It's been suggested that if I were serious about a fully analogue stove I might consider a restaurant model.

While my specific cook stove is not produced anymore, others are, eg [1], [2], [3]. The stove used for heating the house is available at any Jøtul dealer, as are plenty others.

Natural-gas burning cook stoves can be had at the likes of IKEA [4], not a bit or byte in sight on these things. Maybe things are different on this (European) side of the ocean? I do find a few in the US-version of IKEA as well [5] so there seems to be some choice left.
