Antique1910-1930s Swartzbaugh Conservo Oven, Smoker, Steamer, Camp Cooker, Canner. This Conservo Oven stands 20 inches tall x 12 inches wide x 12 inches deep. It has 2 doors and 2 adjustable wire shelves. This has 2 wooden handles. This is marked MANUFACTURED BY THE SWARTZBAUGH MFG CO, CONSERVO, TOLEDO, OHIO, U.S.A., PATENTED. This has some rusty patina but no holes (other than one opening on top that is supposed to be there). This would be a nice complement to antique, prim, steampunk decor. Even garden type decor.

A bit of history of the SWARTZBAUGH CONSERVO OVEN: The steam canner was made of heavy tin and was without a doubt the simplest outfit for home canning, then and now. It was designed to fit over one single burner of any type of range, gas, oil, coal or wood. The copper bottom held several quarts of water to provide steam. It was so well insulated that only the slightest heat escaped into the kitchen.The time for steam canning was the same as that used for wash boiler or cold-pack canning. The steam from the boiling water in the tank permeated and thoroughly cooked, by steam pressure, the food placed on the shelves.

A tube was inserted through the hole in the upper corner ot the Conservo from the outside, and a whistle indicated when water was needed. One commenced counting the canning time when water started to boil. If steam escaped, it meant the cook was firing up more than needed.

For cooking meals, potatoes with jackets or corn-on-the-cob, the items were placed directly on the shelves, or on top of canning jars, in case you were doing both at once. Two compartments, one above the other, held sixteen quart jars, or by using the two racks, thirty-two pint jars. Imagine!
