Quaker stoves.

[Bucher86]

Just recently bought a house with a Quaker wood stove and insert. Guy had original paper work. But I don’t know much about the stoves other then they were manufactured in a town close to me in the 70’s and 80’s. Anyone know much about these stoves and are they a decent burning stove?

Do you have any pics?

Here it is

Your pics show a clean installation, and a non-abused setup.

What are your goals for wood heating? An occasional fire for ambiance? Keep things from freezing up in a power outage / emergency? Heat the whole house? Supplement the heat in the home to reduce fuel costs? etc.

Was the system inspected as part of the purchase of the home?

Thanks. Finding a ton of info on here. Pretty much just going to burn when I can. I’m not relying on it as my main heat source. But when I’m home I will probably be having a fire going. The owners just installed a new liner before moving. I believe paper work said it was installed summer of last year. I’m going to have someone come out and just inspect the liner and setup before burning. I probably won’t burn much this winter because I don’t have any seasoned wood readily available. I have about 8-10 ash trees that need to come down on the property. So this fall/winter I will work on getting them down and split so hopefully next year I at least have some seasoned wood to burn.

You are ahead of the curve! Good plan.
