I paid a hundred bucks (good friend hook up price) for this mama bear stove. Another 48 for some black cast iron feet and another 50 for paint and a new handle so 198.bucks . Still need to buy some plate for a baffle then install in my shop.

All you had to do was lift the front and set it in those feet ! You're such a tease.

Here's a pic from the day the mail lady dropped them off. Trying em on before restoration.

Ive enjoyed researching and restoring this stove even got my 12yr old artist daughter to help by painting the silver outline of the door. So many helpful threads by coaly and others. I already have a central boiler for my house and a separate coil for my paint booth heat in my shop. But this will heat the rest of my shop as needed. Next to install a baffle then a chimney.
