    Old wood stove

    This house we bought came with an old wood stove that was suposedly brought over from england about 50 years ago.

    The front door is all sealed shut and the cooking surfaces under the top grill has metal bonding adhesive glueing it to the frame.


    Luckily it also has a side door that ahs not been sealed shut.


    Anyone else have one of these old bitches? I'm thinking about scrapping this one and getting a better one like my grandfather has.

      never scrape anything as old as that if nothing else clean it up and have it appraised, or store it away

                      now that's an old school stove! If you're getting rid of it, try selling it to an antique shop.

                          some years back we heated a large building with a modern wood furnace and air duct system.

                          the only thing i can say is make sure your insurance carrier knows you have a wood stove, after two chimney fires that could have destroyed the building we scrapped wood heating.

                          most insurance companies either will not allow wood stoves or tack on big premiums.

                          make sure you are burning wood that is fully seasoned (dried) and get your chimney flue cleaned at least every season. if you do get a chimney fire going they are difficult to put out, and many homes are lost each year because of that.

                              Insurance knows about it.

                              We do plan to get the chimney cleaned every fall. I grew up in a home that had two wood stoves so I know the dangers of chimney fires. Putting them out is not really all that difficult. Throw baking soda in the fire. It eats up all the oxygen in the stove and chokes the fire in the chimney.

                                  Yes...I have one just like that. It was given to me by a friend that got tired of it being in the way in his barn. It appears to be in aprox the same shape except the front door on mine is functional, and I am missing the chrome top that yours has. I haven't a clue as to the value of it.

                                          I would never use this to heat the house full time. I just light it when the basement is damp and chilly to take the chill out of the air.
