    Hello all,

    My wife and I recently purchased a home and it had this old Dual Herald stove hooked up in the basement. We have no need for it and was curious if it was worth anything.
    Here are a few pics:

    No idea of the value but I most certainly would enjoy playing with that oven if it were to be made functional as a dual unit.

    Im really looking to recoup some of the cost of the other stove and money we have put into the place.
    I haven't been able to find a shred of info on this stove any where

    What's the condition? How's the firebox look?

    below the door in the second pic it says "Open slide for gas, close slide for coal." With that said I'm sure wood would work but it must be a bit tougher than many since it can handle coal also.

    I'd love to put one of these on my porch and semi close it in as a summer kitchen. A combo would be perfect for year round playing around.

    you know, the power does go out from time to time. I would learn how to use it some, and keep a wood stash. You might be really happy you did! We had ice storms in KY a few years ago, and power was out for some for 3 weeks.

    I would doubt that it is worth much. Who collects wood stoves? too big to store them! If it is hooked up, clean the chimney and figure it out!

    Im willing to sell it for $150 if any1 is interested. You'll just have to pick it up. And bring a guy or two to help lol, its pretty heavy.
