Too pricey for me but perhaps an offer?
Heck, I've got one of those shakers with the 5 gal bucket I replaced the bottom with hardware cloth. I think it cost me all of $10.00 in parts.

I'm looking for the "Herdy-Gredy" type hand crank ones that fit over an ash can. But, going by that price, the kind I want probably costs as much as a stove ? :shock:

At least three winters suffering with lousy stoves and bad coal gets you used to things. If you just jump into great stoves immediately you get sensory overload and feeling of an inability to cope. Two are two paths to enlightenment. Give me your BBs and I will look out really terrible stoves from the Hudson Valley NY CL. The Second course is tougher - just get used to feeling inadequate - warm and cozy but inadequate. :)

This disease in it's final stages is not pretty. You will feel the need to be in 1899, run around with bowler hats and spats while listening to scratchy music on a Victrola. It's a pretty depressing future my friend. LOL.
You will feel the overpowering desire to be civilized that's all.

It puts you in a position to appreciate the good stuff, that's for sure.
