Missing parts ? VC resolute 1979?

[Trinaj]

Hello . I recently aquired this resolute and realized its to small for my house . I'm going to try and sell it . I know nothing about this stove . Is the interior missing something ? There's no grate or ash box .
If you can tell me anything about this stove is appreciate it .
Thanks

No, IIRC, there was no grate or ash pan in this unit.
If I'm mistaken, somebody will chime in...

No grate, just fill up to the ribs on the floor with sand and build your fire on that. Over time the sand will be replaced by ash through use. some guys will lay a few firebrick splits into those channels, which works just as well too, as those gaps will just fill with ash...

I burned only hardwood in mine for years, then switched to Envi logs. With both, just a fine layer of ash on the bottom, then fire away.

If you provide more details about your house, I can help you with that info. The Resolute provides an amazing amount of heat. I had one for 30 yrs.

I just bought a 1979 resolute and need parts if anyone is interested in selling parts....

What do you need Lisa, I may very well have it?

...and he does. He just helped me out with a flue collar and blanking plate. Though used, they look new....

Just make sure of which version of Resolute you might have.

Cheers

Actually, I need the entire bottom piece. From diagrams, I think its part #1. Mine is cracked. Near the front left leg. When you light a fire, crack expands. Im being told the bottom is all one piece...what do you have?

Yeah, I got that. I'm thinking we should make arrangements by P.M.?

 

[Lisa Kim]

Well, that's good news. Before we make arrangements though, can you send me some good pics? It would be easiest for me if you could text them to my cell...can you do that easily? My number is 860-212-1936...

Also, what are you asking for it?

THANKS

Cool website !

I have an original resolute but it does not have any serial number on it. Is it stamped somewhere and I've just found it yet? Also been searching for a heat shield for the rear and bottom as I believe these could have them added but I'm struggling to even find a parts diagram for this. It doesn't have any grate or anything so I'm sure its one of the first runs and it has the drop door. I know my first post but its my 3rd VC wood stove.

It's all there.
