Please help me with this box stove my grandfather willed me

My grandfather willed me his old box stove he had as a kid I think. This is info on door. Herald 228 P&B manufacturing
Company Nashville. I would like to know what a restored stove like this would appraise for. Not that I will ever sell. What is original color? Cand I just sand down and paint with barbque paint? Please any info is greatly appreciated and any info on restoring.

my guess would be scrap prices. Box stoves don't have much value, so It would just be sentimental. good luck

K thanks

Is there any info already on forum on how to convert to gas for a heater in my shop. I would like it vent free so I don't need to run exhaust pipe. Can I just drill a hole and add gas line with maybe an outdoor cooker burner to heat up box.

Vent free gas is not an option. the design of a vent free gas unit is specific and sensitive doing it wrong can bast case cause it to simply not work and worst case , well, gas goes boom. retrofitting a VF gas set into an enclosed box will not work due to the restriction of the ODS system which will kill the gas valve if 02 (oxygen) level drops below 19.2% with the closed firebox this is going to happen within a few seconds or a minute maybe. all vent free gas sets are so equipped as a major part of the safety equipment for the unit.

dont waste any time or money on trying to do the stove in vent free

How much would you take for this stove - will be OK with providing my normal email address if interested

Planter in your front yard would be my recommendation.

That was my intent - do you know of one for sale

Thanks

Can't find one, sure it served it's purpose for Gramps. Post a photo it could help.

What would you take for the stove

Thanks
