The 116 is a good Oak stove. It's the most common size of the Glenwood modern oaks. And the three digit model number means it has the better preforming triangular grates.
It'll burn wood, or coal very well. And if there's ever a problem with the grates, which is rare because the triangular type are more robust, new grate bars are available from several sources.

That guy is special. Others (like me) look like 'Pigpen' from Charlie Brown, just thinking about putting coal in a stove.Wren wrote:I'm going to take it.

By The way, there's a common saying here that without pictures, it didn't happen ! We love pictures of stoves.
Good luck with the sale. Hope it's a real good one.

He says it comes apart easily for transport. A post somewhere says it's easy to pinch the fingers. I'm pretty excited, partly because starting a hardwood fire in a four inch grate is frustrating and it should be easier to get coal going in a bigger space. I hope it is close to uesable. I do alot of cleaning up but must find some methods that avoid the mess I think!

Oh no. Now that the pictures are accepted here I can see lines...on the front of the fire pot? I don't know. I guess I'll see when I get there. On tenterhooks for the week.
