I can't believe you are not taking her for a test drive. It is still cold very much south of you.
lobsterman,
Thanks and you really made me laugh a good time with the description of your stove. And you have a perfect French, bravo. Yes it's still cold also here, today 0*C/32*F and snow/rain...No chimney, no road test for the not " prostituée", Lady, well not yet. lol

Thanks for the good words. In fact I was not supposed to go ahead for the nickel job this year. My wife told me that a few times it would be better to wait to see if the stove works correctly. I always answered to here that, if I did have doubts about it, I wouldn't have bought it. Plus, with all the positive comments from you and others antique stoves owners, it was not a big challenge to buy it.

buck24, thanks. Maybe the special "something" is due to the Bride effect??? When we put the trims on, my wife and I had the same reaction as you described, yes the lines and details got a better look. In the past, I was not too pleased with the side "wings" look. But now they are very nice. One more proof that the dresses on a BB are important lol.

I have a question: When you step back an look at her, how can you possibly stop smiling so very hard :) :D :lol:
Simply outstanding, nortcan.
Vig II, Thanks. NO I don't smile, I stay as close as possible from my BB, LOL. One day, when you will have one, you will understand the BB's love!
BEA-U-tiful, nice mix of English and French. Maybe one day all posts will be in French??? Hope not, I must practice your language.

Its also nice to see my job supervision in my green pants has paid off. ;)
Thanks IOF. The guys in Thetford Mines made a really nice job on the nickeling.
Do you think that a Green Pants could make a good anthracite starter in the BB or make just a distraction for here???

I think Nortcan is afraid of firing her up... He'd rather look at electric light rather than the true dancing blue ladies... :D

It can't be warmer up there than down here... No other explanation comes to mind... LOL

dlj, you'r very hard on me. You know I'm a very delicat man and all those words about my Bride make me cry, LOL. A 25W bulb is the least expensive fire for my BB.
Not very warm here but compared to the temp. in others areas of USA, I think we should say that we are lucky.

Distraction. Chicks dig the way the green pants accentuate my package.

When you get around to putting up the chimney, remember that you will need a Standard Pipe Damper about 2 to 3 feet above the stove's exhaust collar. These stoves were made to be used with pipe dampers so it will be best if you put one in. Just a little reminder.

Thanks Will for the suggestion.
I saw on your videos that you had one on your Glenwood. Is it needed for a better control of the stove or to keek the heat inside of the stove even if the stove has an internal damper for the base mode? The base mode looks like on my Vig II but the Vig II don't need a pipe damper, so did you ever tried to burn your's without one, or leave it fully open to see how things work?
On the Golden Bride the exit is only 5", so you think it should have one with a so small exit?

Yes, you should hve one. if you find you don't need it you can keep it open all of the time, but; put one in anyway.

Nortcan,

I've run my Glenwood with the damper wide open with the unit in baseburner mode. Works better with the damper. You get better fire control and more heat output using a damper. I do have very good draft (never measured with a manometer but sucked a plastic bag up right out of my hands once before having the stove hooked up)...

dlj, thanks for the infos. I found the internal exits so small that I was thinking they would reduce the draft enough. Maybe you'r right. I will post a photo showing the exits ports and measures of them.
