Hi Annie,

Me too, I have an old Belanger wood stove. The boiler does not have to be filled with water to use the stove, leaving it empty won't damage it. The key that you have on the wood-burning side is for flipping the iron plate over to open up the wood burning part and put in larger pieces of wood. Remove the round plates first and then flip it open.

Quand c'est un Belanger, c'est pas necessaire de rempli le 'boulloir'. Ca function tres bon sans l'eau comme un poele au bois. Je save pas le function de la cle dans le photographe, je pense que c'est pour ouvrir le boite du feu (enlever les plats du fer) et pour mettre du bois plus gros. Bonne chance.

Merci Charlotte! Annie was lucky to find another poster from Quebec who has the same stove and bonus for us, your bilingual!

Just a word of caution - make sure you have both smoke and CO detectors to be safe! Give the old stoves and venting a very good inspection so you don't have smoke leaks.

PS - Just noticed it is an older post but it is good to see someone who is bilingual here!

Hi Lake girl
Just to let you know, wood stoves are regulated/inspected by the fire departments in the province and brought up to code whenever someone buys a home with a wood stove. As for smoke and co detectors, its municipal law that every home has several of them. Thanks for your input.

Same for here but some slip through the cracks. Where I live there is no municipality ... but I live with a career fireman so we have detectors all over (permanent wired and interlinked battery).

Hello Annie,

It's a metal slider for the oven, when its at the extreme left it closes the metal seal for the oven so little heat gets into the oven, slide it right and it opens the metal partition inside and lets heat into the oven side. That way you can use the oven when its heated up. Use an oven thermometer to test the heat, or you might have a working one on your oven door, by the looks of it. Good luck.

C'est un curseur en métal pour le four, lorsque son à l'extrême gauche, il ferme le joint d'étanchéité métallique pour le four si peu de chaleur pénètre dans le four, faites-le glisser à droite et il ouvre la cloison métallique à l'intérieur et permet de chaleur dans le côté du four. De cette façon, vous pouvez utiliser le four lorsque son chauffé. Utilisez un thermomètre de four pour tester la chaleur, ou vous pourriez avoir un fonctionnement sur votre porte du four, par les regards de celui-ci. Bonne chance Annie

Hello Annie,

Do you have a metal foot-pedal on the back of your stove? Mine is connected to a metal arm but I don't know what its for, it seems to lift the stove at the back, but I don't know why anyone would want to do that.
Avez-vous une pédale de métal à l'arrière de votre poêle? Le mien est relié à un bras de métal, mais je ne sais pas ce que ce est pour, il semble soulever le poêle à l'arrière, mais je ne sais pas pourquoi quelqu'un voudrait faire cela.
