Sounds great , here are some pictures as she sits in the corner. This was Grand Dads stove, he exported it from New England, back in the early 70s and it is now in old country- Portugal.
If I could get it operational could actually make the old house habitable in the winter...
I have a plan to drag it out of corner to disassemble back side-and get more pictures.

That Wings will put out a lot of heat.
It can burn wood, hard coal, and even soft coal. If your going to use soft coal I recommend that you get a "gas ring" from Wilson to install around the top of the refractory brick. It will add extra secondary air evenly around the top of the fire to help burn off the volatile gases that soft coal has a lot of. That will make it so that you get less soot buildup in the stove flues and more heat gained from each pound of coal.
