Check This Monster Out

[Tom NJ]

I have a fireplace in my basement with a small wood stove in it, which I am going to replace. So, while perusing Craigslist today looking for used stoves I came across this beast: (broken link removed to http://southjersey.craigslist.org/hsh/2119423027.html)

It looks like a locomotive coming through the wall.

That is like some sort of Frankenstein fire hazard. I bet you could really load that sucker up for an overnight burn. I don't think I would sleep very well with that thing burning though.

 

[jotulguy]

Choo Choo! Look like the stockings are a touch close to that monster.

 

[BrotherBart]

I want it!

 

[begreen]

Oink oink.

 

[Todd]

I want it!

But the door opens the wrong way and it's not brown!

 

[BrotherBart]

I want it!

But the door opens the wrong way and it's not brown!

I don't care what side the latch is on for my trash burner.

 

[Tom NJ]

I want it!

But the door opens the wrong way and it's not brown!

It's missing it's tender car, too.

As far as inserts go, this one is an "outtie".

 

[jtp10181]

Probably not supposed to have a sideways grate it in either. And their hearth protection looks wonderful as usual with this craigslist pictures.

I think part of me just died a little when I saw that pic.

Looks like the "insert" is trying to escape from the fireplace and is making a run for it.

 

[fredarm]

Methinks they didn't insert it far enough!

 

[BrowningBAR]

How many of those stockings burst into flames each holiday? If little Timmy gets any coal for Christmas I wonder if the stocking can maintain an overnight burn?

 

[Lighting Up]

Holy Crap!...I can't stop laughing. Can you imagine walking in their living room to sit on the couch with a glass of wine or beer...and poof !

Someon call a doctor- that fireplace is having a baby!

 

[Cate68]

Looks like it has been on a strict Twinkie diet for the past decade! That is by far the most unattractive insert I've ever seen.

:lol:

And, in the ad: "Must pick up, cannot deliver."

No kidding.

No kidding.[/quote] I think they should have said cannot pick up, therfore cannot deliver! still better than 2 55 gallon drums!

So IFyou can get the whole tree in your house it WILL fit in your stove. SWEET!
Maybe some water leaked down the chimney and it swelled up

 

[Pagey]

Maybe it's just the angle of the pics, but it looks like it could tip forward off the hearth at any moment. That's a beast, for sure!

 

[Dakotas Dad]

Am I the only one who thinks it's priced about $425 to high?

 

[NH_Wood]

Maybe it's just the angle of the pics, but it looks like it could tip forward off the hearth at any moment. That's a beast, for sure!

That's what I wan thinking as well - looks like it wants to tip forward and empty its contents on the floor. Yikes! Cheers!

 

[DawgDoc]

Must've been a heckuva blowback!
