Anyone have a lead on a Grandma or Grandpa IV top vent stove? Pretty much any condition. I am in PA but drove to Wisconsin for my first fisher…
Thanks

Yeah I have been watching but not finding anything. Couple inserts but not free standing stoves. Figured someone on here may know on one.
Yeah there are a bunch of Fisher wood stoves on Facebook Marketplace. Probably more than any other brand. At least in my area.
Some are over $2000….but not seeing any with glass doors. I have a grandpa in my cabin and one in my garage, but was looking for something different for the house.
The glass is pointless it doesn't have an adequate air wash to keep it clean. At best you can see a glow through it. Why not go with a modern stove in the house?
Is that true from others experience- the glass will not stay clear? If that’s the case then I will just get UL listed stove and use the screen when I want to enjoy the fire.
Seriously why not consider a modern stove. I have a Fisher in a shop a d it's fantastic in that application. But there is absolutely no way I would heat my home with one.
I just have an addiction to the history of these stoves and I am not planning to heat my house with it. More of I want to drink my morning coffee or evening bourbon next to cracking fire of a fisher! It will only be used for those purposes.
I have a no glass door jotul 118 clone (great old "nostalgia" stove)
And a EPA Jotul f400 nice glass door stove.
Even though i like the 118, the lack of glass really let's it down
The big glass on the f400 is Fantastic. I'd never trade that for anything without a big glass door.
When the f400 is cranking it feels like there's a mini Sun inside it radiating out thru the glass. Yes it will burn you Xss thru the glass. What's better than that?
Probably just jealous .... like me.
I love some of the old stoves.... those Fishers are beautiful.
Part of your collection, I'm sure.
Don't be in a hurry. You may find one cheaper than you think, a little paint is all it takes.Beautiful! I need one of them…..patience I guess. Coaly can you share one of them??
These are perfect for adding secondary tubes with the larger glass.
Hmmm never knew they existed. Does a hot fire keep them clean? or do they soot up quickly for the most part?
You get a ton of heat thru the glass.One of the things I like about most older stoves is the lack of glass. It’s just something to break or need new gaskets eventually. Seeing the fire is cool, but not necessary to run the stove.
If they made new Blaze King stoves without glass doors, and I wasn’t married….
