Feeling the Heat
Dec 21, 2011
309
40 minutes north of Grand Rapids
09 Cumberlan.
A friend of mine was having issues with it last winter and stopped using it. Well I tore it down for him this spring and cleaned it finding why he was having overtemp issues. All the side heat tubes were a solid piece of carbon. I cleaned it all up and he never again fired it up. He went and bought a new p61 and sold me this for 300.00.
Now to get it home and run it hot to see what it does before removing my Englander and replacing it.

Wow nice looking stove. Congrats!
 
Congratulations. This is a nice looking stove. And a very lucky find for only $300,-
It's hard to tell the exact model from your pic. According to the Cumberland web site these models exist:

Here's a picture to cheer you up on the cleaning job:

Cumberland Stove Works has an archive with many useful manuals. There's is even a service manual for the MF 3800:

A friend of mine has one of those, It is an Awesome stove!
 
Sweet deal! What a good looking stove!
 
I have been a hour late on trying to buy one of those stoves reasonable.
Good luck
 
I'm watching one on craig's list right now... $500, but needs auger motor. I'm going to offer $250 if it is still up in a week.
 
$300 is a deal! Wish I could find some deals like that. Hard to find anything used for less than $1,000 here. Looks nice too and you already cleaned it. You should buy your friend lunch since he set you up so well.
 
if it is a 3800 it is a great stove, cant say too much about the others as i have no experience with them. that stove will burn the crappiest stuff you can throw at it as long as you keep it clean.
 
if it has a remote with a cable on it, its a 3800. If the controller is permanently mounted on the side it could be one of the earlier models. I have a 3650 and its my workhorse. One thing to be cautious about is the manual feed or "add pellets" button. Push it once and it stays on continuously feeding pellets at a high rat. You must push I again to make I stop. Never push it and walk away or you're in for a big surprise.
