    Mama Bear help.

    Hi everyone! I moved into our new house this last winter. It came with a old "comforter" stove. It has a picture of a bird on the front. It doesn't heat really well and sometimes smokes out the top randomly. (I have no idea why) To make a long story short. I found a great deal on a...
