I was talking with my brother and was telling him I use to rent an old farm house and heated it with a tin stove. Anybody remember these and who made them?
The stoves were kind of oval, flat on top and bottom with four legs. The material the stove was made of was a heavy gauge stove pipe steel. I remember a few times getting up in the middle of the night and walking by the stove and you could see an orange spot on the stove side where a split was leaning against it and burning hot.
There were no fire bricks and you could pick the stove up with one hand. I was turned onto these stoves by my landlord who burned one to heat his farm house. They really threw off the heat. I think I burned that stove for about two winters before moving out.
I bought the stove at a local hardware store, one of those steel covered hearth pads like the sell at tractor supply and some stove pipe and for just a few $$'s I was in business.
Anyone used one of these stoves or have any pics of one?
Thanks,
Bill
