I'd really like to have one of these but I believe it is a little large for my needs. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ite ... ink:top:en I'd really like to have a base burner but I need something a little smaller. Maybe someone else would be interested

You would be surprised at how low of a temp you can run a BB. Anyway I think it is better to have a little to much stove BTU wise than not enough. My advice is get one.. YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

Really don't have the space for it. With the box on the back and the pipe it would stick out in the room too far to suit the boss. The Baker I have with the top pipe is about as big as I can go. It works well but that #6 is tempting.

Ahhhh I get it... The stove is to "BIG" for the space it would sit... GOTCHA!!! My apologies.

Well for around $500 you could snag that stove and enjoy a trip to Cape Cod? You could then inturn sell said stove to a fellow NEPA member and that would pay for the trip!!

Then there always the chance the "BOSS" (most of have 1) will give permission for the #6 to be installed after fallin in love with it!

Cape Cod trip might be ok but with my luck I'd get there and get caught in a nor easter and get snowed in. I'll just be patient and keep looking. I'll find a smaller base burner. I missed one in North carolina a couple years ago when I first started burning coal. Didn't really understand then what I was looking at but after reading a lot of posts on the forum ,I'm more knowledgable now on stoves in general.

does anybody know where I can find measurements on this stove? And would it fit what I need (1700 square feet and drafty)? Btw, I think I'm gonna draw up a view of our floor plan just so you guys can get a better idea

I'm mainly wondering how tall it is to the top of the flu and the depth so I'd know if it would fit on my hearth. I'm DEFINITELY interested!

If I didn't already have one - I'd consider bidding on it - as long as it's confirmed the base pan is not cracked or warped. If it is, it's just a parts stove (according to Emery).

Hope a Nepa member gets it.

Meant to ask, if I do contact the seller what things should I ask about? Besides measurements, I mean. I did some quick reading on them and it sounds like the base pan is the only major problem they had, right?

This seller is claiming the stove was rehabed at Barnstable Stove Shop which does very good work BTW. And they haven't used it since... What I don't understand is why go through the exspense of have this wonderfull stove redone only to NOT use it. Of course there could be very undertsandable reasons as to why. Which is what I would ask. Why didn't you use this stove?

If I didn't live 2 hours away I would go check this unit out for you.

Looks like the secondary air ring and the grill that covers the exit port are missing. Didn't see the cast 90deg ell off the back of the stove either.

Good point. and also, I just looked at some stoves that they have refurbished and I cannot imagine this person selling this stove so cheap if they really did refurbish it. Their stoves weren't cheap. Seems like he'd be taking a big loss. Is this skepticism just me being paranoid?? I just don't want to be blinded by a great price and end up driving all that way for a hunk of junk that I can't use. I'm in Ohio for pete's sake, lol. That's a long way!

What are these parts? Are they necessary or for looks?

Seller may have them, just not in pics...need to ask.

Ring basically stops coal from spilling over edge into crack.
Grille is a decorative cover over hole. It is not needed if hole is used to allow heated air to go upstairs to second floor above stove.

None of those parts are necessary. I have the secondary air ring lying in my basement, I might put it back in when I have to re-do the fire pot ceramic. No big deal not having it in. The grill cover I've never seen except in photos. I think they may have been an option. They cover the exit hole in the back so coal doesn't drop in back there. Also not necessary although nice to have. I've never had one in mine. I also have the 90 degree elbow in my basement - my stove pipe goes straight out the back so I can't use that. Also not necessary in any case. Only if you are creating a collectors item and want all the parts...

As far as the asking price - it might not be too bad - if the stove was in good shape when they gave it to be restored, then it might have only cost a few hundred bucks. They obviously did not re-do the nickel with is often the most expensive part of a restoration. I'd say if the grates are in good shape, the stove is not cracked anywhere, then it's a decent price. Problem is, you can't check the base down in the back where the problem cracks can be. I guess you could ask the seller if they could photograph the grates, and the back of the stove showing the bottom of the stove, you'd get a better idea if worth the trip...

I may do that and if I do I'll have to post the pics here so you all can tell me what I'm looking at lol!
