that depends on how much of your time you are willing to spend. that is going to have to be taken down to the last bolt. by the look of that stove you will be drilling out the rusty bolts that break. then before assembly all the stones need to be buffed. lots of work. but you could have it ready for next year. i would love to know what model it is. it's to big to be a 3 and it is bigger than my 2 and i thought the 1 didn't have a secondary air tube.
If it is on my side of the bay I will buy it. And use the soapstone to try it as firebrick in the 30-NC like I have been wanting to try.
You can almost scrap it for that. If you want to spend some money on parts and a few days swearing at soapstone and cast, Id say its well worth it. If I needed a stove and couldn't afford a new one, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. It's a very fun and satisfying project, rebuilding a stove, if not done under duress
A good spit shine and some stove polish will probably easily triple it's value.
No. The cheapest soapstone stove around me is $600.
It almost looks like they wanted to see if the firebrick could melt.
