I hope you don't mind, but I downloaded your photo and I lightened the midtones on the picture so I could see that double heater shroud better. I would say that you do have a double heater stove there. Where that grill is on the top of the stove back is where you can hook up another stove pipe and run it to an upstairs register. Back in the day, that is how they helped to heat upstairs rooms.

Congratulations on keeping the old stove and making her work again. I'd bet your grandpa is smiling. Drink a toast to him and enjoy the beautiful flames tonight. Jerry

i'm just outside Toledo ohio, the first burn last night was great, after the smoke cleared and I got the temp adjustment under control, placed mag thermometer just below top ring on side of barrel, temp jumped to about 600 fast after a full load lit off, I was on top of that fast, this thing makes a lot of heat, fast, cut her back to 350, about 1/4 on one air wheel and damper fully closed, never dropped below 300 and at 9 this am it was about 375. still going strong. time for shaker test, worked great, only filled pan about 1/4 full, glow all the way around shaker( no poking yet ) added one bucket about 20 some pounds to 30 guessing. all open for 10 min, then back to same settings. came back in 30min and temps were up to 425, tightened up more and setting at 300. I love this thing . baro has never dropped below .04, unless door open. this thing is tight. recovers very fast. can't wait to finish the basement and hoping the ash pan holds out for one emptying a day . not sure but why don't they make stoves like this today, so far so good, i'm thinking a d.s. regulator on here and i'd be in heaven, ok and maybe a hopper that drops in from top where the cook plate sits, ok if dreaming and 2" taller base and ash pan.

That's great. Doesn't surprise me that with that big firepot it cranks out the heat !!!
As long as your keeping track, a 2-1/2 gallon painter's bucket is a measured 20 pounds of nut coal - a 5 gallon bucket is 40 pounds. Most antique size 16-17 coal scuttles hold about 30 pounds.
Most old Oaks and base heater ash pans were sized for about 24 hours worth of ash - give or take how hard you run the stove.

After closer examination of your photos, I am not so sure the heating chamber on the back of your stove was for a double heater. At least not to send a stove pipe upstairs. With the nickel plated skirt at the top having the heat releasing holes right over that chamber and the way the grill is on that chamber, I do not see how you would hook up a stove pipe to it. It must be their version of a heat circulator of sorts where it pulls heat off the barrel and creates faster moving air currents. Still a very cool feature for sure!

This is higher than 2 inches, but it's a parlor stove base if it fits your stove: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Base-For-A-Cast-Iron-Parl ...

LOL! Leave it to Don, to have already found parts for your stove.
By all the b4 photos above, makes it more rewarding to see how much work went into the resto, to get it in it's current condition. Congrats on a nice stove.

Oops, my bad. I see you already have the base for that stove, I looked at the wrong pictures.
Hows about red bricks to make a hearth underneath it, then cover the bricks with some tile? Shouldn't need anything more than silicone to hold everything together.
