Pictures of Your Stove

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.

Wood / coal boiler. Burning a mix of Ohio bit coal and hardwoods. 24 hour burn times heating 3600SQ/FT plus the basement and domestic water for family of 4.

Before AM shake down/top off--I might even do a glass cleaning today--glass is in it's 4th season---who gives a crap---74* here at the old homestead.

freetown fred how many square feet do you heat with that Hitzer?

The good and warm life in Québec!

Works great!

Woodchuck model 4000 heating 3400 sq ft. Holds over 9 cubic ft of wood or approximately 200 lbs of coal. She's a beast!

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? Mama Mia!

I think our big KingOHeat will hold around 150 pounds or maybe more.
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.

Year 5 of heating with my Keystoker 90 DV. 3 tons of rice coal all buttoned up and ready for the heating season.

Good looking stove, and very creative (and practical) coal bin!

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).
