coal setup on hearthstone II ????

[mike in ct]

hello .....i picked up 3 hearthstone II parts stoves so i can fix the one i'm planning on burning in. one of them came with what looks to me like a coal burning firebox and stoker, or shaker grate, along with a heavy wall firebox, sidewalls and such. trying to make heads or tails of it. i have a parts breakdown i found online for the stove, but it does not show the optional coal setup. i've attached a couple pics of what i have, and was hoping someone knows something about it, because i can't find anything online about it.

There is somebody trying to sell a HII coal conversion kit over on nepacrossroads.com. If you are interested in burning coal that is a good site to visit.

He has a new kit in the box with instructions. Maybe he can send you a copy of the instructions.

The link for the listing is: http://nepacrossroads.com/about31654.html#p386807

Hey Mike, that's pretty interesting. I don't have anything concrete to tell you about it but I'm sure you're right, it's a coal burning attachment. I'm from South Eastern CT, been burning an H2 for thirty years. Someone from the NY/NJ area was listing one on Craigslist new in box for $150 just a few weeks ago. Can't find it now so I'm thinking it sold. I'll let you know if I see it again. Good luck with your rebuild.

I'm looking for these exact parts for my Hearthstone II. I need the coal conversion kit, specifically the basket as shown in the attached picture (G, H, I). The original one I had just fell apart and can't seem to find it anywhere. If someone has seen one fore sale anywhere from Delaware to Maine, please let me know!! Thanks!

 

[mike in ct]

i sold the basket to norm. already...i only have the parts in far right picture.....if interested pm me to exchange contact info - mike

That is indeed a coal conversion kit. However, judging by the size of the grates, or appearance therof, it will only burn stove sized coal. Unless the picture, or my eyes, are deceiving me about the size of the holes.

Did you have any luck? I'm looking for directions on how to remove one. Thank you.

Have you tried Hearthstone for a copy of the manual? It might have instructions in there!

I did, thank you. But all I could find there was for the main stove itself, not the coal burning kit.

Looking at the pic of the assembled unit, if you can’t remove it piece by piece, you might have to pull the top and lift the unit out. That could bring in other issues since bolts might be seized due to age. I don’t have any experience with these stoves so I’m only guessing here.

paging kevlar_vw this man knows everything about hearthstone stoves. he's rebuilt h1, and h2. stoves and i believe still works there

I've come to the same conclusion actually. I'll have to run over to camp to give things another eyeballing. Thank you.

Hearthstone II rebuild

Hi all, My name is Kevin. I'm new to this site. I have been restoring old Hearthstone stoves for a while, and decided it was time to document a few. I have worked at Hearthstone for a number of years, that's how I gained the knowledge for these beautiful stoves. This is a 1987 Hearthstone II...
