Yet another console from Matthaus

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.

somebody save that cook stove before we scrap it!

Another resurrected stoker . I painted it Honey Glo Brown . Probably will burn it tomorrow just to cook the paint outside . Dave

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!

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 . Dave

ooh purty!

How did you get it finished so fast?

I went to staples and purchased a easy button . Just kidding . A few late nights plugging away . I have about 40 hrs into it . I have it running outside right now the temp outside has gone up 10 degrees . Al Gore will ne naming me on the list of causing global warming . I had no idea it would work this well . A few more hrs of burning I will be taking the bike out for a ride . I will get some pics of it burning . Dave

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.

Some burning

Looks good!

side loader? i was wondering why mine had that removeable plate on 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.

For where I am putting it that works out the best . But what a pain in the a$$ to get the stoker in and out . Not something that I would want to do to often .But hey it got it up to 45 degrees up here today so whos complaining , I even got the bike out for an almost 30 mile ride today . Dave

that would work better for me too.......how does the stoker work with the burner being on the side?
