"Thank God, my Apple Jacks are soaked in tears.

Do you remember what happened when someone suggested a 113 bested a #8 at the ninth annual picnic:

"

Simon.

Good thing no one mentioned that a medium-sized kitchen range has even more heat radiating surface area than those big base heaters ! Just think of the mayhem that would have ensued. !

In all seriousness, William, you know that we're just jealous.

I know that 113 can produce some serious heat, but what becomes of your #6 ? It's not getting retired is it ?

William, when you get a chance, can you snap a pic or two from inside the barrel/fire pot?.

William,you had daffodils blooming outside the wall from the # 6 when there was still a foot of snow on the ground . If you put the BIG one there instead,will flowers bloom year-round ??

No the I will never part with the No 6. I may alternate them. When the magazine project gets underway of course I am going to get one for the No 6. I will be associated with that stove for the rest of my life, how could I ever sell it?
Each stove has advantages that the other doesn't have. The No 6 has the prismatic grates that I really like. The 113 and the Crawford have the super efficient suspended fire pot.
Each is excellent. There will be no envious spats at my house between prima donna stoves.

It will be a one stove thaw monster.

I guess I had better get busy. People are asking for Crawford Videos, etc. and I must oblige. I put some more pictures of the 113. I should have done that anyway.

16 inch by 17 deep.

is that o.d. or i.d. dimensions for firepot diameter ? reason I ask, another member posted dimensions of his 113 at 12" x 15".

It's larger than 12 X 15 that sounds like a 111. That's also the dimension of a Crawford 40 I believe. I will have to go back and check.

Our Glenwood Base Heater on CL

William, make the video of the 113 when the cold weather comes. Just make sure you're in shorts and have a cold drink in your hand. It's gonna feel like death valley. Trust me!

I don't think Victorian gentlemen wore shorts even on a tennis court.

As I cry into my Apple Jacks about the inadequacy of my #8, I am reminded that dlj' s reminds us of the right stove for the job is the way to go. I also have a brief video sequence of William in casual jeans. It was a shocking sight as he leaned over his Victrola to start a new recording. Shorts might cause a heart attack in this old man, can the next video be William in a top hat and full upper class regalia. Standards have to be maintained.

I made that video at 2 AM just after I came home from work.
The Crawford Videos are in production. The attire shall be appropriate. I assure you.
