Let me know what you think of this stove. http://cgi.ebay.com/Wood-Stove_W0QQ...yZ117412QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It is listed on Ebay but in the same county as me. I know that it will go for a lot more than the opening bid. What do you think a fair price is for this stove?

If you subtract the cost of materials from the price and divide the remainder by the 300+ shop hours they say are put into the stove, that means they were working for what? A buck and change an hour? Hmmm...Very cool looking though.

Wow, that is cool.....we could do the "Orange Country Chopper" thing with custom stoves. They would be commissioned by bigwigs.......

EPA allows for up to 50 (I think) custom models of each type before you have to get approved!

Corie, maybe that is your calling. We'll get all those waterjets and welders and some motorcycle builders and make "theme" stoves with clean burns. Sell 'em to the folks who don't want anything ordinary. I think we could come up with various designs for $10K to 100K a copy.

Is that a supercharger?

 

[moondoggy]

i think so, either that or a vortex warp generator.
the legs are beautiful too, but someone better buy it fast and get it off that pallet before it gives way.

Pewee Valley isn't as bad as the former town I lived in, Monkey's Eyebrow. My wife thinks the stove looks like a space ship. She doesn't understand the value it would add to the house...crazy women.

Well my 2 cents...its a non listed stove so that means its gotta be 3 feet from the wall atleast. add in that they are willing to cut a hole in it for gas, says that u should run not walk away from this one...

How big an issue is parts availability?

What about EPA approval? My guess is that depends on the state.

YES!

Let's do it, I'm up for it if you are.

In fact, the EPA has a category for testing specifically for custom stoves like this.

That is pretty sharp!

But to do the OCC thing... the air control would have to be a throttle on a set of handlebars. The exhaust would have to be chrome, and it would be dual staggered 3" pipes (that will go into a 6" liner). The secondary burn technology would have to be re-done completely so that it only fires off gas at pre-timed intervals to give it some "rumble". The firebox would also only allow wood to be put in at a 45* angle to burn.
