Hello to all. I have joined this forum and another to try to better educate my self. I was in the maket for a wood/coal burner and have looked around & bought a used stove. I read about many stoves and really had no Idea of the variations and numbers. My wife wanted a pretty stove & I wanted a good stove.
I needed a free standing type & was almost ready to buy a wonder-wood. I looked at some cylinder stoves, a Rite-way and ended up with a CDW 288 which I bought for $500. It has all original receipts from when purchased new & many accessories which are brand new in the box. + 6 feet of Stainless pipe. It was a beast to load, we used to steel pipes & a lot of grunting to get it on my trailer.
I want to educate myself to safely install, operate & get all the benefits from burning wood. I have an unlimited supply of free wood, and access to coal at $85 a ton. I am going tomorrow to talk with a guy about trading a car for more stainless pipe, another stove (custom built out of stainless steel , Troy bilt log splitter with Honda engine & Still saw. All to be in good working order.
Well to start have I made good decisions and any advice & recommendations will be reviewed....
Thanks
