Nice pics Keith. Thank you. Looks like you had a great tour. I would enjoy seeing all those stoves an the restrorations in progress. That is a very nice looking stove you got. Is it a base burner? What make is it? I'll bet you're gonna love it.

O well glad you had a nice trip and made it back safe, cant wait to see her installed and running im sure you will be more than happy.hope you enjoyed my 12 pack bobechos67 wrote:Here are the pictures that Emery sent that started this spontaneous trip. We touched 6 states each way, Stating in Maryland to Delaware to New Jersey to New York to Connecticut to Massachusetts to Rhode Island. I did not realize I needed to take out a small loan to pay for the tolls however, whats crazy is the roads with the highest tolls were in the worst condition .
Brandon next to the stove we brought back home.
Sorry Bob, your address not able to be found in my GPS for some reason so I couldnt drop it off to you
No Problem, thanks for the reminder that I am finally able to update my avatar and get a real picture in there . 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 ?grizzly2 wrote:Nice pics Keith. Thank you. Looks like you had a great tour.

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 .coal bob wrote:O well glad you had a nice trip and made it back safe, cant wait to see her installed and running im sure you will be more than happy.hope you enjoyed my 12 pack bobechos67 wrote:Here are the pictures that Emery sent that started this spontaneous trip.

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.

Ahhh, the old GPS story Sounds & looks like you had an outstanding, safe trip my friend. What the hell happened to the John Deere.
Hello Fred, I might have to sell the John Deere soon to supply my new addiction of stoves and rocks , its sitting in the garage by the woodstove awaiting some snow so it can go out and play !freetown fred wrote:Ahhh, the old GPS story Sounds & looks like you had an outstanding, safe trip my friend.

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.buck24 wrote:echos67..... you got yourself a real heating machine there. She's a beauty. Good luck with the new stove.
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.nortcan wrote:Nice one Keith. Is a Summit No 6 the same as Williams' No 6 ?

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...SteveZee wrote:The Summit is his old stove Pierre, the little one he started with when he first came to the site.nortcan wrote:Nice one Keith. Is a Summit No 6 the same as Williams' No 6 ?

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.

Smokeyja, If you get the chance Definitely make the trip, if you like these old stoves, this place will blow your mind.Smokeyja wrote:Seems like a great trip and great buy!

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...
