    I'm really interested in buying an Englander 30. Can someone post some good pictures of the firebox, ash tray, door handle latch assembly, door hinges etc...... ???? Keep in mind what you would like to see if considering a purchase when taking the pictures. As popular as stove as the Englander is, It surprise's me there isn't alot of good pictures of them on the net.

    I wish I could help. I have a few, but they aren't what you are looking for. Maybe when I'm home and have the time.

    First 3 with wood. then there are two more on the tiled hearth. The one with the stove pipe just setting in it is of the small 12, just ignore that.

    The 30 burns unseasoned wood terribly. I shut her down for last winter because it was too frustrating. I know better now and am a year ahead on seasoning wood. Another thing to add is buy gloves that cover your whole arm. You will understand what I mean if you buy a 30.

    Pretty much any modern stove burns green wood terribly. Do you think that the 30 has some sort of extra cripple in this regard?

    That's some really bad taste in beer.

    You must be a "quantity" guy and not a "quality" guy.

    Fifth largest selling beer in the U.S. You just don't know good beer obviously.

    I pay no attention to beer snobs anyway. Most here are well aware of that. That is why I post that pic about once a year to get this out of the way for the season.

    Every year with the Natty Light. It's like telling a smoker that they shouldn't. Why do y'all even bother. Everybody knows it's nasty and that Pabst is where it's at ;)

    If you are talking about the last line in it. Please lose it. Politics don't cut it in avatars or sig lines.

    Gotta watch that thing. Told the story a few years ago about only swinging the door half way open and the latch snagging, unnoticed, in the down filled vest. Room fogged with burned down smelling like somebody set a duck on fire.

    for the record, im an IPA fan but ive honestly never turned down an offered natty light==c

    as for the 30, its a beast, she aint meant to be pretty though i think it looks pretty good. good sized firebox at 3.5CF as for the latch, its solid its a 1 piece 1/2"rod with a bend put in it pre-weld we pass the rod through the cast iron door set the depth weld in the washers inside and out of the door, then heat the rod with a torch and slip on a pipe and bend it to its end position. in 19 years working at ESW ive never once replaced a door because the handle failed, not once.

    true unseasoned wood doent do wellin it ,but thats pretty much the same industry wide, as for heat there are very few if any stoves in its class i would hesitate to put it up against. like i said, its simply a beast of a stove.

    Thanks for the heads up on the door latch. Didn't even think of that until you two mentioned it.

    Yeah, that latch is deadly. It is the only complaint I have about the stove. I have a scar on my arm from it and the doctor wanted to know how the heck I got it.<>;lol:confused:
