In rehabbing our home I discovered this stove/heater. It appears to be coal heater, as it looks like it would burn from the bottom. Other than the hobby of restoration does anyone know how I might research this to see if it is worth getting it going or plant it in the yard! That is is there a forum similar to this one that I might investigate? My intentions are more historical rather than practical application Thanx in advance
