Totally agree that a liner is the way to go. While it cuts the capacity ever so slightly, it's well worth doing as it will make the firepot last for a very long time. Actually that firepot looks like it's never been used? If you look at Pierre's "got my base burner" thread you can see his process for the liner he made for the Bride.

Well I picked up the perfect number 414 Saturday and it looks as if so maybe I'm missing the flapper part if that's what it's called And maybe a part thats it's below it I don't know I have not seen 1 of these in pieces But it appears that there's a hole in a couple protrusoons the mica is not clear looks more like vermiculite the stove actually looks like it's never been burned . Seems like there's a lot of Brand favorites out there but does anyone have any suggestions for some type of caulking to use to seal up the joints? And I think I will start sandblasting the parts for assembly
Thank you all and this form for never would I have even considered 1 of these without somebody else beating a path before me

Smithy,
I noticed that when you first posted the pictures of the stove. The firepot looked like had never been used. You are probably right and the whole stove was never fired and only used for decor. The mica is cheap enough to replace and there are articles on cutting it out there. Nortcan can help you with the sealant for the mica windows since he just redid all the windows on the Bride. Looks like a nice find though and best of luck.

Thanks SteveZee yeah I'm beginning to find a little fly ash under some of the paint I don't think it's been used much though or simply just never abused

If we can see some detailed photos of it, then we can figure out about the missing parts. Emery at Antique Stove Hospital recommends Colco Furnace Cement and I just used a brand called, "Hearthstone," furnace cement. Hearthstone is available from Lehmans Hardware. These brands are easy to work with and will last.smithy wrote:Well I picked up the perfect number 414 Saturday and it looks as if so maybe I'm missing the flapper part if that's what it's called And maybe a part thats it's below it I don't know I have not seen 1 of these in pieces But it appears that there's a hole in a couple protrusoons the mica is not clear looks more like vermiculite the stove actually looks like it's never been burned .

Back Section off. And then taken apart. It seems to me a baffle plate is missing. Or some part based on the corresponding groves that don't have any part to fit them

Interesting grate set up. Does the outter ring shake back and forth and the middle parts rotate? Those middle grates almost look like wood grates to me because of the smooth edges. Probably made for dual fuel. Also does the arm on that outer ring go through that space on the firepot with the two teeth missing? That could explain why those two teeth were cut?
Thanks for the photos. I don't see any gasses vent slots/holes at the top of the magazine, are there some where the magazine hang to the supports?smithy wrote:That's about it I can add additional photos if needed
Thanks for coments and helps

The grate is named Duplex-Ransom combination. At the center you have the short and long Duplex grates. They act like a dumping movement. Outside you get the Ransom Ring grate, it rotates around (a little like in a Chubby stove) the Duplex ones.
The grates are located under the firepot so no relation with the missing teeth and there is a gap between the lower part of the firepot and the outer grate.
On my stove there is a small flapper trap to reach exactly the same place where the teeth are missing so I really think it was to poke/sclice the coal bed, maybe if some clinckers or other things block the rotation of the outer grate.
