The listing has been there for several weeks. No one seems to be jumping on it...........

"The stove has had a crack in the base brazed, the rear bottom cleanout baffle plate is missing, the mica window has a defect on one side (small hole but not all the way through) and one of the nickel foot rails is missing. None of these issues impacts the functionality of the stove"

Cracked base pan is a killer (does not impact functionality of the stove... it only impacts your life when you wake up dead from C0

)
I guess the footrail can be cast from the existing one

$400 would be a fair price... he just needs to come to grips with that like most other sellers who believe their stoves are on par with a refurbished one with ALL its parts like new at a stove shop (they just are NOT!) ... if he gets an offer of $400 he should jump on it! that base pan is a killer!

The seller should clarify if it's the base frame or base pan which is cracked - still, that's a high price.

I paid $600 for mine last summer, which was a good price for a nice original and complete stove.

My two cents worth - Chris

If anyone's interested - I contacted Jim who owns the No. 6. He sent me these pics of the base pan problems.

I told him he would have a very hard time getting that price.

When buying a #6 base heater I always pull the ash pan out and reach way back in the ash pit and feel the floor at the right rear. If it is bent down you must let the stove go. The bend means that all the metal down below is twisted and broken and you need to leave without the stove. That is the second place they go. If the ash pit floor is flat you need to take the stove off the base and tip it forward. Take a good look at the bottom pan as that is the first place they go. The pan is large and thin so decide if you can fix it or not. Don't get emotional about it being the only stove in town because it isn't.

I noticed some pink fiberglass insulation in the last photo. There was a No.6 for sale in the Haverhill or Lowell area a few months ago for $450 that had pink insulation stuffed in about the same spot. Can't help but think it is the same stove.

The mice/ rodents just love to set up housekeeping in these Base Burners w/ all those nice narrow cavities/pathways.

The used stoves I have brought home most always have had tufts of insulation packed into them.

it very well could be... ive seen people do that often around here (they don't realize what they were getting into)... $400 is about the top end this guy should see retail (unless he finds someone who knows nothing)... and to someone like stove hospital it cant be much more than $200 for the finial and some other useable parts. frankly... id prefer to see a place like stove hospital get it to make sure it gets proper treatment and/or helps to save another one down the road (i don't like seeing them lost forever).

Does anyone know the weight of a complete Glenwood #6? In another thread I've compared the firebox size of a Keystoker HFH-90 to a Glenwood #6 and determined them to be kissing cousins in that regard. The HFH-90 is listed at 360 lbs. Since many seem to value the radiating capabilities of a stove, and this is closely related to the metal content and thereby the overall weight in many (though not all) regards, it would be interesting to see if the Glenwood #6 compares comparably with the HFH-90 in this regard also.

the Glenwood 6 complete is not more than 300lbs. (crating would add some though).
