No Problem, thanks for the reminder that I am finally able to update my avatar and get a real picture in there :up: . The stove is a Glenwood No. 6 BaseHeater, depending on what side of NY it may be a closer drive for you then I had ?

Here are a couple pics after arriving at home, she just needs some love. One thing is the right (looking at it from the rear) skirt does need some adjustment so it will sit level like the other side. The entire stove will be taken apart cleaned, blasted, polished, (painted steel) and put back together as airtight as possible over this winter. I would like to install the Little Summit into the basement first though.

I did have about 7 Mt. Dews, 5 cups of coffee, and a 5 hour energy over the entire ride lol .
Unfortunately I probably wont be able to use her until next heating season, I want to take my time and do the restore the best it can be. I will probably put it where the pellet stove is currently so that will need removed, a chimney installed, and a hearth of natural stone, this work should keep me out of trouble awhile.

Hello Fred, I might have to sell the John Deere soon to supply my new addiction of stoves and rocks :lol: , its sitting in the garage by the woodstove awaiting some snow so it can go out and play !

Thank you much, hopefully I can stay away from buying oil for the boiler and/or pellets for those 2 little pigs when its really cold outside.

Nice one Keith. Is a Summit No 6 the same as Williams' No 6 ?
Take your time to make the job the best you can and I'm sure you will love it. But not too much time...we still wait to see some fire in that BB (Base Burner).

The Summit is his old stove Pierre, the little one he started with when he first came to the site.
The new one is a genuine Glenwood #6, the same as William's, DJ's, and Jason's up in Maine. Looks like a beauty too! I'm sure Keith will take his time and have a brilliant heating machine when all is said and done.

Thanks Steve. My head was probably still in the small living room searching a solution...

Seems like a great trip and great buy!
I found the stove hospital website last week and then saw this post! I would love to make a trip and pick up a stove from them.

Such a light weight when it comes to traveling! All that stuff to stay awake on that short little trip?

Next time run up 295 in NJ, run NJTP from 7A to 10, take 287 up to the Tapenzee bridge, This will miss the majority of the high tolls, and from here you can take either 95 or jump up to 84. NEVER and I mean NEVER trust a GPS!!!!!!! Learn to read to good old road atlas where you can see the big picture of where you are going. Sorry expanded views on GPS just do NOT cut it for true navigation. If you cannot navigate with a real map, stay on the porch and let the big dogs run.

Stove looks great, so I am sure it was worth the entire hassle you put your self through.

I always look at a map first...
GPS is nice if you know the big picture first...
The find a store or gas station feature is good to have...
If you like the scenic route...
The Tapp up to Hartford on 84 then follow RT 6 to RI...
