Every now and then a stove pops up that I have never seen before. Since there were literally thousands of foundries making stoves at the Turn Of The Century, I would venture to say that we've never seen most of them.
I can't advise you as to how good this particular stove is since I don't know anything about it. Is this an ad? Some close ups and good photos of the insides would be great if you could get them.
It sorts of looks like a feed hopper or some kind of magazine on the side of the stove. Very interesting.
Anyway, as I said. The Ideal Heater you were looking at is a really good stove, however; it looks like that one is going to need some big money spent on doing a nickel job on it. These stoves have lots and lots of nickel.
And the best stove, again for you would be the Florence Hot Blast.

wsherrick the pictures were sent to me by a friend. I think it is an ad. I do not have any pictures of the insides, but have asked for some. I have a side view I posted below.
From what I have read on this forum, the Florence Hot Blast, sounds like the best. I have inquired to see if it has all the internal parts, secondary air ring, like the one grumpy restored awhile back. They only burned wood in it so who knows. They also want 4500 for it so that puts it out there a bit. I have found a Ilinoy No 19 that looks good, and seems to be designed the same as the Florence, waiting to see if it has all the internal parts for coal.
Since I am in Kansas, most stoves I am finding are set up for wood and seem to have a couple pieces missing, (secondary air rings, different pots) then what was used for soft coal.

Illinoy made a hot blast stove and some of them are very fancy. Remember, there are bunches of stoves out there and be sure to be patient in your search. The main thing is that the stove is complete. Don't think you are saving any money by getting one that is a basket case.

closest ad I have that explains a "plunger" that pushes the coal up into the firebed somehow the big "hook" was that because the new coals volatiles have to travel through the burning coal fire its more efficient (i personally don't buy it... they had better & easier ways to burn coal).

good find... here is the "meat & potatoes of the design (id love to see photo's of this on a real stove if anyone gets it!)Involute wrote:I came across that stove on craigslist a week or so ago. The patent number is 1211236, if you want to see what it's all about.
"What I claim as my invention is 1. In an underfeed stove, the combination with a fire-pot, of a laterally-extending fuel inlet on the lower portion of said fire-pot,
its lower wall inclining slightly upward and the outer edge thereof forming a fulcrum for a poker adapted to lift the live fuel within said fire-pot to permit the feeding in of green fuel on to the grate, an air chamber.
adjacent to the upper wall of said laterallyextending fuel inlet, having. inwardly-opening air discharge apertures, and control ings around the lower end thereof, and a laterally-extending fuel inlet on the lower portion of said fire-pot, its lower wall inclining slightly upward and the outer edge. thereof forming a fulcrum for a poker adapted tolift the live fuel within said firepot to permit the feeding of green fuel on to the grate below the air inlet.

A non electric type of stoker. That's pretty neat, but; it makes the stove look like its got a tumor growing out of the side of it.

Very interesting. I wonder why it didn't "catch on"?
