Keeping the barrel bare metal?

Here you go Merc...

Gonna just use stove polish & veg oil on the barrel and back pipe Tommy. It should start turning that nice bluish color like it would originally if it was made out of "Russian" steel.

Gonna fire up on Halloween I guess.....if the remaining nickle is done.

yeowsers, that is a TALL stove. i know the narrow barrel is adding to the effect but still that is some acreage of radiant area right there.

it's going to be cool seeing the IR readings from various place up and down that thing, i think it's going to throw heat clear into the next room.

Hey Mr. Scott, were you planning on a magazine in that puppy? I don't 'member if you were able to adapt anything to the inside of that tall barrel. Still...coming along nicely. Thanks for posting.

Probably not this season Joe. I never finished the Crawford 40 prototype

I get the vibe here on NEPA that this style stove would not run correctly with one....maybe because it's my understanding that these type of stoves were never offered with one?

I don't know if I posted this before but the barrel is 36 inches in length, the grate is 9.5 in diameter and the pot is 14 inches deep. It has more barrel area than a "stock" Crawford 40 but the pot is smaller.

a shas been discussed the grate , pot, barrel ratios were pretty solidly established back in the day but some of these designs were SO efficient they can support a good deal of departure from the norm.

even standard oaks have examples of extended barrels that obviously worked.

Agreed.

It's my belief that you can increase surface area to just before the point of cooling the exhaust gasses to the point of losing draft. But for aesthetics and packaging reasons this is not practical.

Yup, even as base heaters there are extended barrel stoves that work well.

The Stewart on the stove hospitals home page looks about 6 foot tall to the dome. http://stovehospital.com/

One of Melissa's brothers has been heating his western Massachusetts house with a Round Oak 24 that is about 6 feet to the dome, and seven feet if you count the dome and finial. I've stood next to it and the heat output is bearable for only about a minute, then I had to back away.

I think Scott has built himself a heat monster.

I would love to see that stove in operation Paul! I could supply the beers and large NY style Italian combination hero

Bring a pair of shorts and tee shirt !

While he grew up with coal stoves, his land is all wooded so he heats with wood.

Last time I was there and took that picture, it was winter and cold enough that their stream-fed pond was frozen over so thick that we walked out on it to help him bring in his wood duck house.

The floor plan of the living space is open and about 20 x 40. Just to the right of that stove starts a long wall of large, counter top to a tall ceiling, single glazed windows, that continue non-stop through the dinning room, living room, and wrap around the far end of the living room. Then the rear half of the house is three bedrooms and a bath that are just 7 foot high walls so that the heat travels under the tall ceiling to them all by natural convection. The house is built on a wooded hillside, and somewhat sheltered.

That entire open living space was very comfortable while we were sitting around in just shirt sleeves and jeans.

That 24 inch firepot must hold a lot of wood, too. We were there for about four hours that day and he didn't put more wood in, nor did the heat output drop in that time.

I'd love to see how it could do with coal !!!! I think you'll be able to answer that question pretty soon.
