It's obviously an evil plan of some sort...and I've been dragged in to it.
Yesterday I was at an account in Brodheadsville and ended up having a long discussion with the manager about coal burning. He has a Reading stoker heating his place. It was nice to mention coal to someone and not get the "third eye in the middle of my forehead" look.

It'll fit . I just have to push a little harder . Well maybe if I use the tractor . But it can fit ,just may not get it back out . It was a slippery ride back from your place tonight . There was a car that didn't understand physics and clipped a tree on the way over here . DaveMatthaus wrote:ooooooooooh, dat's purty! One thing though, I don't think the ash pan in the back ground will fit.
Thanks Dave for saving another of my orphans!

ALGORE will be naming me soon. I'm just finishing up painting the housing for the stoker ass'y. When everything is dry I can start assembling. I still have to paint the hopper and the doors (later). I'm also cutting an opening in the top (mine's not cast, just steel) for a 6" duct and blocking off the front air outlets just under the top.

Looking at that stove makes me think that mine is the model equal to a Chevy Biscayne while Flyer's is the Caprice.
But if it was anything more it would look out-of-place in the cellar.
