Is this freebie worth fixing?

les could you do us a favor and shoot a picture of the inside of the stove?

 

[cousinles]

Yes I will shoot a pic when I get the firebricks in.

Well, I finally got it installed I could not wait for the weather to get gold before I lit a match in it so I burned a few boxes to see what it would look like. I will let everybody know how it heats this winter.

Looks terrific, Les. Why the extra bricks under the feet? What did you go by to determine safe clearances all around and what materials to use in the hearth? Again, nice job! Rick

Great to see the stove resurrected and ready for another decade of work. Thanks for posting Les.

I put the bricks under the feet for easy un installation to upgrade in the future. I used the owner’s manual to determine the clearances required and my hearth is granite. according to the manual no R value was needed for the hearth just a 20 awg non combustible matiearl going 16" in front of the door now it changed to 18" and I only have 17"

Ah! I didn't realize you had the manual for that old beauty. Sounds good, looks great! Rick
