Fisher Baby Bear

I have a baby bear that has the flu on the rear. Has anyone ever changed so that the flu is on the top of the stove.

Agree with pen , There are quite a few of us who can help you with the metal but my next question is why? It's not hard "if" you have a torch set up, or a plasma cutting rig, along with a welding machine able to pump out 100+ amps.
I'll be happy to give you the "step by step" if you want to go to that extreme. a local welder in your area may do it for about $150.00, it's a couple hour job.

Yeah im planning on taking it to a weld shop to have all the gone over just to make sure there is no gaps. Also on the inside of the door there is a GC stamped any idea what that means there are no other marking on the stove. It is a older flat top with chrome ball for the handle but it has the newer style fisher logo with trees on the door. Any idea what year it is and where it was made?

This one's a bit out of my league as far as markings, "but before you do anything"" it sounds like you may have a bit of a collectable piece, "but I'm not sure" "PLEASE" Don't modify it until you speak with Coaly. The chrome ball, as far as I know was very early in the Fisher line. Good Luck! Again, Get with Coaly

Warburtonplayer, to the best of my knowledge, that "is" a very early model. Nice stove!, Nice score
Coaly can tell you more....

The stove is in great condition other than the pipe on the inside has broken from heat. I want to get a welder to put a new pipe in it and check all the welds to make sure it is safe to put in the house.

the weekest point on the stove for a weld check is where the legs meet the top. When the top is installed (tacked) it is turned over and the legs are tacked on, then the top is welded solid to the front, sides and back and over the legs. We found this to be a warrenty problem and we started welding the inside of the stove in the corners to seal behind the legs too. to test if it leaks.... empty the stove then shop vac the inside. use an air hose with a nozzel. spray high pressure air all the way around the weld and real good at the legs. you will hear if there is a leak. Where the top stepped down was the next weak point. The welder generally stopped here and if the next pass was not overlaped good it could leak right there. It was never an issue until a downdraft situation. Good luck
