Anyone have "The Elm" woodstove?

[PA. Woodsman]

Does anyone have "The Elm" woodstove? I saw it in my book from 1980, and it looked pretty interesting. I Googled it, and there is a fellow that restores them and sells them and parts. I was just interested to hear your experiences with them, both good and bad. Thanks!

Not much to it, A heavy barrel with a Pyrex pie plate inserted as the see-view door. It was kind of cute, but not buying today. Need a new glass door? go to Walmart.

I read this piece by Bill Macy and his Elm a few weeks ago.
Makes me want to head for the woods-and build a cabin for me and the Mrs.
But I do wonder about skinny dipping in Vermont.
Don't they have black flies and mosquitoes and the like?

I have a wood stove that burns a lot of elm... does that count?

I've split a lot of elm... does that count?

It does if you own a Pyrex pie plate.

Yes, but the bugs can't swim! That's WHY you go skinnydipping! %-P

I was curious as to how you like the stove, how efficient it is, etc. I think that it's a unique looking stove-the one in your picture is cool looking.

What was that commercial a few years ago? I liked it so much I bought the company! Well, I have worked on some significant improvements to the air intake system, and see a cleaner burn. Not that it was not clean previously, but I often see nothing but heat waves from the chimney.

Well I wish you luck and much success with it; it definitely is a unique looking stove. There's something about it that is appealing to me. Perhaps it's the glass front.
