Yeah check E-bay antique stoves. There lots of them. Mine are Glenwoods, cast iron and look like Model T starters.
PS: That old Olix Air Flow looks like a real tank! Nice.

Uses about 4 tons of coal per year
Has a time clock on water heater that allows coal to heat water when no one is home
Works great!

This has got to be the biggest bed of coals I've seen in a free stander! (I know.This is coming from an itsy bitsy Surdiac 513 member) But seriously, this thing looks like it would run 2 days with no attention. Are there any other stoves out there that hold this much?

Cant take a good picture unless I hold my iPhone too close to the fire, but the bed of coals can be quite deep inside the barrel of the stove.
It can run for a couple of days, but it prefers to be tended once or twice a day for a nice even fire.
We will start it up sometime in November, as its still pretty warm here on Cape Cod until around Thanksgiving.
We have two of them, so if we have a problem with one, we fire the other up.
You can see the approx level from the picture, tho we tend to run it at different levels depending on the weather and draft.

Whoa! 150LBS ? You can actually put 3 bags of coal in that thing, and it will burn efficiently through all those layers? And almost 2 days of burns without any tending? (Now I'm very jealous).Jane684 wrote:I think our big KingOHeat will hold around 150 pounds or maybe more.
