So, what's happening?

Waiting. They went to NC on vacation for a week and won't be back until this coming Friday. We plan on meeting when they return. I've got my fingers crossed but I've been thwarted before.

Ugh, hurry-up and wait. Wish I were in North Carolina myself. Hang in there.

Sounds like you might have prior military experience as well. My oldest daughter lives in Charlotte...beautiful place with cordial people.

As for the stove, I hope to snag it but I may not be the only one sniffing around for it. The seller seems motivated to talk to me. No bidding wars from you guys if you can muster the self control. I gotta win once in a while.

No ties to North Carolina or the military other than doing civilian work for the USMC and Coast Guard (construction) many years ago. I just want to go anywhere there isn't (much) snow! I grew up in San Diego and moved to Maine in 1976 in my late 20's. First visited Spruce Head in 1969. Winter was a real novelty back then. These days I find my enthusiasm and tolerance for the cold greatly reduced. I'd be lost without a coal stove!

I'm not in the hunt for another stove right now. I am working with Wilson's Woodstoves to either get my Glenwood No.6 up and going or trade it for another baseburner of some sort. I am, however, interested in learning more about these amazing machines and how they all work. It is very satisfying to see them saved from the scrap yard. I hope you get it!

What's the issue with your Glenwood? I'd love to get my hands on one of those to restore but the wife would never go for me buying one retail. I've got a monster drafty old home to heat so I could use one more good stove but that means another chimney and more lugging in and out.

I'm in the process of building a small log cabin that should prove easier to heat than this beast and then the stoves become more a matter of aesthetics and not so much volume heating.

I should know something by the end of the week and I'll let you know. Quality pics if I'm lucky.

This pretty much tells the story:

Glenwood No.6 Base Pan.

Just looking in the Rochester NY Craigslist (Naples NY) March 5th 2015 and there is a Geneva Andes Cylinder Wood Stove for Sale. Manufactured by Phillips and Clark Stove Co. Madel 617. Apparently used until recently, appears in very nice condition. $1100. Worth checking out the ad for the photos.

Not a bad looking stove.

Are you guys sure that's not a music box? I see the hand crank for winding the spring on the side.

You are bad Joe, just bad.

Sorry Don, I guess I'm just bored.

I understand. I'm bored also.

That is a pretty stove though.

Can one of our members tell me the dia. and depth of the fire pot in this Andes?

Is it about 12 wide & 18 inch deep with a magazine feed & round flat shaker grates?

I'm Curious as I know of a stove that looks much like this Andes but have no idea as to it heating potential.

They look like cousins ?

Thanks: john

With the Andes numbering system, the last two numbers is the diameter of the pot. My #517 is a 17" pot and is 10" deep. I am not sure how deep this particular fire pot is. None of the literature I have on Andes stoves gives the depth of the fire pots, only the diameter.
