Are your Crane wooden stove handles dried and cracked? Fear no more; when you replace those handles make sure to oil them as part of your annual stove inspection and clean up. Whether you use peanut, linseed, or furniture oil, it is the best way to guarantee the long life of the wood. Wood that is constantly baked by the radiating glow of your Crane stove will deteriorate over time if not seasonally cleaned and oiled.

interesting thought made some replacements out of dowel rod and had a very short life on loading door.
