HEY!!! That's what my wife calls me! I hope you arn't burning that cute old pot belly that close to the wood paneled wall. That stove requires 36" clearance to combustibles.oppirs wrote:Cute Old Potbelly.

oil for 16 years...got to the point of not being able to afford oil...so I switched to coal from the help of my neighbor...bought the keystoker 90k for 700 bucks..895 bucks total after cleaning up(paint,glass,gaskets,piping)..cant complain..oil would have cost 1600-1700 for the 2012 season...bought bagged coal to start myself off since I didnt have a coal been yet so my total investment was around 1700.00...funny part is the stoves already paid for now and coal bin built...burnt 3 tons coal to keep house at 72-75 degrees...its small only 1000 sq feet but it was in the unfinished basement heating it and the main first floor.....expect to burn no more that 4 tons worse case...so I figure no more than 800 bucks to heat the house...savings ??? how about 50 percent !!!!!
