"All Nighter Stove Works" Replica Jotul F118 Info??

[greensngravy]

This stove has the Glastonbury, CT info plate on the back and looks like a Jotul F118. Does anyone know if this is an American made stove as the plate says, or is it a Taiwanese import through the American company?

The plate Model is "Slim Glo".

Haven't heard of this model. All Nighters I've seen were Moes of one size or another. Got a front and side shot?

Thanks. It's sort of baffling that it has the All Nighter nameplate on it. This is a very reputable company the nameplate states that it was made at Plant M...wherever that is. Any thoughts? Or should I just take it at face value and assume it's made in the US and stop worrying that it is a Taiwanese knockoff?

I will more photos in a few days.

I would trust the factory UL plate. This could be a rare stove. Makes it more interesting.

I would think it could be a import stove that someone attached a tag from another stove on since it wasn't certified.

Before making that statement you better check your facts.
Their stoves made in the US were steel plate in the 1970's. (1978)
After the patent right lawsuits against Fisher, they scrapped a few loads of stove bodies with no doors that can be found with homemade doors. (They didn't make it to the scrap yard, but ended up in a workers garage for illegal resale) Next adventure was Trademarking someone elses stoves and named them Slim Glo (1980) Pudgy Glo, (82) and Cozy Glo (82). They also produced "The Woodburner" newspaper that featured their stoves.
There is a partial history on the Fisher Forum from when I attempted a history of the company years ago and deleted it online due to threats to myself from surviving family members.

So jrems or coaly, what do think happened here? I disassembled the stove and the bolts are all US threads. No "made in Taiwan" stamps anywhere. It weighs around 300+ pounds. No elk nature scenes on the side panels, just a leatherlike texture on all panels. I will try to post more pics. Has the cast side fire side protector panels, no cracks in the stove, also has the bottom cast protector plate. Hmmm... ????

And it has the baffle.

No idea, but we can debunk jrems theory of a tag from another stove since this Pudgy Glo has a very readable tag from the same plant. Notice that model is a coal stove.

Coaly you are correct, my tag is identical to the Pudgy Glo tag and has the same "Plant: M" on it. The only difference is the "Slim Glo". I found a link to the All Nighter trademarks:

On another note, I was thinking of spreading kitty litter granules down as a bed for the stove bottom. I also use this for lining my coal forge. It's pure clay. Any thoughts? Perhaps find an old cast grate and cut it to size and pour / spread it down as a matrix?

Looks like the Pudgy Glo box and base was the same as Chubby Moe. Different door with the secondary air inlet added;

Keep searching, maybe you'll find the twin Moe to the Slim Glo.
Perhaps the "M" is simply from the last name? More about the company here;

This has been a working stove based on the warping of the side plates. And there are no cracks in the stove.

 

[greensngravy]

I didn't have proper tools, but I fabricated a new pair of side protector plates. They should work:


Made from 0.25" steel plate. I tried to reheat and straighten the originals, but only got more cracking...

Did you keep the old burn plates? They're not in that bad shape. Looks like they have another year or two life left.
