There was alot of those style gas or electric on right side and heater on the left up here. Most had been converted around here to kerosene for the heater and some were fitted with a coil around one burner to a storage tank for hot water. The stink from those kerosene heaters was rank.
I saw a lot of these things come in a as trade-ins. They were very popular for homes in the Santa Cruz Mountains near San Jose. A lot of the old appliance service guys including my dad referred to these as "trash burner stoves". I knew a few people in San Francisco who had them too.
