    F-500 in need of love.

    I have an opportunity to purchase a neglected F-500. I know nothing about it, as I haven't seen it yet. I know it's difficult to put a number on something with such little information, but how much do you think this is worth? My plan is to refinish it and give it to my cousin. (I already own...

Since I'm living in the mountains full time I need to replace my "weekender" Franklin stove with something efficient to heat a 1300 sq foot 2 story cabin with high ceilings daily. The cabin walls are insulated, but the high ceilings are not. The...
