The Smallest Stove With Removable Hopper
NosmoKng: WOW! That sure looks like a well designed and constructed stove. I like the air vent tubes located in each side of the firebox. I bet those air tubes will put out some great heat. I also like the design of the firebox with the grates. The more straight sided firebrick will allow a nice coal burn. I'm sure these pictures will help a lot of other potential coal stove buyers in making the correct purchasing decision. Thank you for the fast post. Keep us informed. DOUG
I remember the first time I saw one. I wanted it, but I had already bought a Hitzer 50 - 93. Sold the Hitzer when I moved down here. They are nice guys too; you can call 717-768-3853 and talk to Dave Stoltzfus (D.S.) Sr. or Jr. If they can they will redesign the stove to fit your needs. Tell then Dr. Pat from KY sent you. 
Oh, Doug, I'm from McKeesport; went to Pitt.
Oh, Doug, I'm from McKeesport; went to Pitt.Talked to some other Mennonites and Amish men today about the D.S. Stoves. They say that they are really good stoves - "very efficient" - well designed. I liked em on sight when I first saw them at Coalway up in Sugar Creek Ohio in 2006. We talked to the owner of Coalway and he said he heats a 4,000 sq. ft. house with the Circulator - that's the 500 lb. stove. He had it in the basement under a 4' x 4' grate in the floor with cold air returns in the center of each wall setting up a mushroom effect of heat that forced the cold air back down into the basement at the edges of the room. Cool, no? Basically if you design your house right, you can heat it with one of these no matter how biG. I'm into stoves - makes winter about 95% more fun.
