Glenwood Week #1
Hi All,
Well it has been 8 days since lighting the #30 for the season.
Shaking down the ashes once a day is working fantastic, havent even come close to "loosing the fire"....
I am burning approx. 20/25 lbs. a coal per day and the heat is very steady and even.
may have to open her up a bit when it gets nasty cold but she is handling the 20's without even working up a sweat
This thing is GREAT!
here's some pics of her happily cruising along on the 8th day just after topping her off for a 12 to 14 hr. burn.

Tim,
What are your temps? It's been in the low to mid 20*'s at night (last night was 19) and mid to low 40*'s during the day here and I've got my Chubby running around 450* and 500* all day and night with a stack temp between 160* and 190* pulling .04 - .06"'s of water. The house floats between 70* - 75* during the day and 70* - 66* at night. Drafty house for me .

Hi Tim, the Glenwood seems to do the job very well. Can you tell us how many Sq. feet are you heating with it and the average room temp?Tim wrote:Hi All,

I wonder how many new stoves in use presently will be in a century.
You can be proud of yours.

Excellent. Another happy Glenwood owner. When you told me you were looking at this stove, I knew you would love it with full devotion.
JB,
Yup that is my wife and best freind Bren, I am surely blessed to have her!
Will,
NO COMPLAINTS WITH THE GLENWOOD!...thanks to your Video's you REALLY HELPED ME MAKE AN INFORMED AND EDUCATED PURCHASE.....hats off to ya Bud!, now if ya only tell me how to make the HEAVY O'l Gal levitate so I can slide the new hearth I am building under her you would be a magician!!...HEHEHEHEHE.
I think I will have to buy a case of adult beverages and have my 21 yr. old son and a couple of his buds stop in and dead lift her staright up while I slide it under...(after removing the fragile nickle skirt again of course)
nortcan,
my old shop is 20X28 or 560 sq. ft. with an 8" ceiling and the building is well insulated, the attached shop is 28X30 with a 10' ceiling also well insulated but I have onna them plastic strip doors in the old garage door between the 2 shops that I can open or close just a few or more flaps when needed to regulate the heat.
im on fire,
stove cruiseses at 350/375 with the primaries closed to bought 1/8" & the load door draft open round 3/8" for over the fire air and the indirect tube draft & the MPD closed all the way, at these settings I can let her go 15 to 17 hrs. or better without touching it but I ry to stick to a twice a day every 12 or 13 hrs. cycle.

You are welcome, I'm glad that I could be of service. I think a new hearth is appropriate, such a Duchess deserves better than sitting on a bare concrete floor. The same goes for me. I have to wait because I don't have any tools and out of all the many things I have done, I never have laid tile. The Glenwood is the Queen of the house and she must reign on a proper pedestal. I want to do a period tile hearth with art tiles in the border and a matching back piece on the wall. I may move the thimble down so I can frame the tile in a craftsman style frame and shelf correct for 1905-1910.
All,
What are your thoughts on a perforated tin back wall over the stone tiles I currently have now ??...I think the look of the old tin tiles ya can get in 12" squares would set off the Ol Glenwood ?
and I havent yet decided on what to set her on ...
I am leaning toward Slate tiles for the floor and the tin for the wall?
ANY SUGGESTIONS WELCOME!

I was kicking around the tin-cladding idea in fact got this bronze-brass 2x3' piece and placed it behind the stove. It actually looked
pretty good. The copper cladding might be in the future as the 700bucks it would cost will be better given to christmas elves so
for now the slippery slate look will have to do.

Here's an idea for you.
I built a brick wall and 100yr old cobble stone floor for my Hub Heater to sit on. I insulated inbetween the block wall and the brick on the inside. The back wall has 2 rough cut oak shelves on it. Still need to finish it up with an Iron railing from the pier to the back wall. I'd like to find something to seal the cobblestones with, the color is much better when they are wet looking.
All the materials were free except for a couple bags of motar, just had to dig them out of the scrap dirt pile.
