Reading stove is a relatively new company (a sister company to Reading Anthracite owned by the Rich family) and is the last to use the old stoker system.
Well actually The Original Reading stove Co. goes way back when the where in Reading Pa and they where making
coal fired kitchen stoves .Then in the late 70's they bought out the Tri burner stoker company sold them until they went out of business in the mid or late 80's Then in 98 or 99 the Rich family bought the old Reading stove building Co rights.
They where making the stoker stoves down there for a few years.Then in 2003 the open there new stove factory which was a Reading Anthracite old building in Pottsville PA. So the Owner is new but the stoker & stoves are a old designs .
The Rich Family also took over the Reading Anthracite coal Co. Sometime in the early or Mid 90's .
