Now after using the Kodiak in the basement he has decided to go with the dealers original recommendation and replace it with a furnace that will tie into his other central system.
What things should I look for when I take a look at this stove once he is done with it?
We talked about new firebrick, glass, seals, paint etc. It will also come with a fan and hopper that it has now and I will have him add a Bi-Metal Thermostat and the brass trim kit. (As a concession to the CFO who enjoys pretty things in the house!!)
The AK Channing he had just gone through that was in his shop I mistook for a new stove until he pointed it out as a used one that he had rebuilt.
I have heard about stoves warping etc. but have never seen one and would appreciate any pointers to look out for even though I do not believe that this stove suffers from that malady!
If you have specifics about this stove or general comments on what to watch out for when looking at/buying a used/rebuilt coal stove your wisdom would be appreciated!!
