Installed the Keystoker Koker on Thursday 7/26---finished the custom duct work installation on Friday 9/14---next project is plumbing in the domestic hot water coil.

No more "anxiety attacks" when the outside termperature is -10 degrees fahrenheit; and, the propane FHA furnace runs continuously for days.

Current propane cost per gallon: $2.00---heating with coal---PRICELESS!!!

All set and installed just waiting for Mr.Winter to throw his best at us.

Finally painted my stove today. Hey Greg, does this stove look familiar!! I know, new glass would look much better but the budget is tight so maybe next year.

The stove looks great! Nice job on the paint. Did you try some rubbing compound or cleaner polish on the glass??

I use some compound and various cleaners on the glass and I am afraid this is as good as it gets. It is functional and that is all that matters. I am waiting for the coal fairy to show up so I can burn off the paint smell outside and then I can complete my install.

1990 model year EFM 520 coal boiler piped into an air/water duct coil. Domestic hot water heated at 5gpm, Adjustable BTU rating from 10k-220k BTU's. depending on the feed rate. Coal bin is the 55gallon drum seen in the picture.

Just running in an unfinished basement. Not as pretty a setup as I have seen in this post. I do have a new flagstone hearth with oak mantle in my minds eye but that is a long way from being complete.

This hearth and mantle thing will give me something to do this winter.

Thanks to all on this forum who have given their advise.

Mark, why are there (2) pipes ? One seems to be Stainless and the other regular black stove pipe. :?:

coaledsweat · By: **coaledsweat** On: Sat Oct 27, 2007 8:41 pm

I'll guess the black is his smoke pipe as it has a baro, the galvinized may be ducted to a fan to deliver warm air?

Attached is a better view of the entire setup. There is a 4" pipe (smaller)on the right, this is the fresh air intake from the outside, the ducting tee's to the right to the master bedroom upstairs (once again this morning I was told by my wife "it is always going to be hot in here, isn't it?" :twisted:

) and to the left to a finished 120sqft office in the basement and behind the ductwork is the exhaust to chimney. The super-ebay-manometer-deal is on the wall on to the left of the stove.

Thanks for asking.

Go Sox(of the red variety)!

Very nice install Mark! This picture is a perfect example for all those on this forum that ask about getting the hot air to circulate. You are a shining example! :lol:

Finally 2 years later a picture of my stove on the board. The war department hasnt told me what color that room was going to be painted yet so it looks kinda...well kinda. Ive been running the stove two years now off the extension cord that runs into the downstairs bathroom, luckily a mouse chewed that small hole under the door 3 years ago so the cord fits nicel. Turning the power on in that room is on my short list now so maybe 2 or 3 months and no more extension cord. The hearth was completely made by me from pocelain tile and cement backerboard underneath. I laid that on top of 2x3's so the 1x4 wrapped around it nice. The plan was to paint that a complimenting color or redo it with oak and stain it but.........Jim

Still haven't gotten to that masonry work around the stove. But we do have a banister, just have to sand and finish it.
