Yeah, I'm not convinced the fire bricks would retain enough heat to keep yer house warm for hours after the fire went out. :?

that may be subject to some interpretation. did they in fact mean the "house" or the "stove" would still be warm ?

another thing to consider from the "Jack remembers" account is the tending practice that appears to have been in place. it seems that the process was to start a fire every morning, meaning of course the stove and fire would have to mature thru the day and be in good shape by evening BUT they don't seem to have been re- tending or filling the stove for the night, thus cold mornings.

we have members here using these stoves in 24 / 7 heating applications and reporting no such problems or issues.

I've heated all winter with a Locke120 Warm Morning. Like any coal stove it gets as hot or as cool as you want.

I remember reading this months ago and thinking [The woman's husband was an idiot who didn't know how to keep a coal fire going]

I walk out every morning from a cool bedroom to a warm 74 degree kitchen & parlor. No cold morning where I live :roll:

Lightning you are correct. The stove's fire bricks cool down along with the bed of coals. It's that slow dying fire process we are all familiar with.
