What Kind of Stove and How Old Am I ??

It's a Faber Grandeur, and made for coal burning.
If you burn wood in it you will destroy the stove.
The stove was for whealty people and the most of them who are left are rebuild for naturalgas .
If you google for Faber Grandeur you get some pictures, most off them with a skirt wich was ment as footrest.
There should be a special shield for the door wich was use at nights to keep the warmt in the stove wich saved on coal usage.
I have seen only one in my life, it was a project stove and they asked 3400 Euro's for it.

Well I walked a way. I am just grazy not a fool.

thank you SOooo much JPeter,

i find this stove very attractive too and that cast circular, functional port hole door is just amazing.

Wood has its place as does coal IMO ! And don't mention that to Wilson because he burns a lot of wood .

I agree Josh. wood has its place. Home construction, furniture, paddles for beating your kids, ect. But not in a coal stove. (IMHO. But hey, they just me)

Good thing I own a stove made for Wood and Coal !

I didn't realize this was just a coal stove until mentioned above . Not sure if it would actually ruin the functionality of the stove but it might dirty up the glass but that's my take on it . I don't know the specifics of this actual stove .

Your titles asks "How old am I?" If you're talking about yourself, I won't be able to guess, until I see your reaction to the tree comment. If you convert your stove to black coal, then I'll guess you to be older and wiser. If you continue polluting that thing with wood, then I'll have to say the opposite is true.

....just fired it up for the first time after refinishing. To be honest, I didn't even know it was a coal stove!!! Coal newbie here....only ever burnt wood!
It resides in a 16' X 12' shed that only gets used a couple of hours at max, so burning coal would be kind of a waste of coal....no shortage of nice dry wood, however!!

...how old am I applies to the stove, however I'm a little more than halfway there!!

Well Peter, I have to be honest. It cost me nothing and I'm not really a coal-burner, but if someone wants go give me that kind of money for it, I'd have to let 'er go!!!!

Thank you very much for the info, much appreciated. The fires that burn in it are quite small and short duration due to the fact that it's in a 16X12 shed, so hopefully it won't destroy the stove!!!! Do you by chance happen to know how old it might be?

You just advertised in the proper place. You may just get a few PM's on it if you are serious.

are you in N. America ?

how about putting up pics of the inside, grates, ash pan area, top and back ?

PM me your honest expectations for converting it to cash.

thanks,
steve

I already did, right after Just Peter posted the name of the stove. There were some real beauties on Bing pictures.

Absolutely....I saw that. The other ones on there are way more ornate than this one!! They're beautiful, actually!!! THOSE, to me, would be the ones worth $4000!!!!!

Steve, I knew you would like the functional port hole door...

Looks rather singular though no? Hahaha It would be better with three of them perhaps?
