What a beauty! So can we assume it has an intake damper at the rear of the stove? And Hoss, you said you're looking for a hand fired? Why don't you "borrow" the little pot belly in the picture that's looking very left out. Get your wings on that, and see how it goes.

Looks good!
Maybe the secondary air was modifued already?
I, and others had the "brother" of that stove under the Reading Mahantango name, and they didnt burn for crap!
Glad its working out. I wish mine did. I would have kept it. Love the look!

Joe, I offered him cash on the spot for the little potbelly why I was there! Wouldn't budge. Yes there is a lever on the right side if the stove that adjusts a flap on the intake air at the bottom rear. He has been texting me like crazy saying its heating like crazy!! I told him it would take a little trial and error until he gets the draft dialed in. Apparently this stove has no problem burning, seems the exact opposite

Tell your friend to set the air intake as low as possible and wait an hour or so...the inter-web says it's 41* tonight in Kenilworth Pa....may need the window stats.Hoss wrote:Joe, I offered him cash on the spot for the little potbelly why I was there!
