Name that stove

[begreen]

I saw this unusual stove this morning. Note the curved glass front. Today's puzzler is to name the stove.

PS: It's in very nice condition and going for $350. High efficiency and takes an 18" log. This is a good one for the gallery.

I don't know what it is, but it looks like the end of a school bus. I'm going to guess the school bus stove?

What! I'm wrong! Oh well.

It looks like an Avalon Avanti, offered briefly by Travis Industries in both wood and gas-burning versions about a decade ago. It was pricey, didn't sell very well, and Travis discontinued both versions.

That was the Pacific Energy Plummet.The stove performed well but people shied away from the name. I think it was a language barrier thing. They eventually redesigned the stove and introduced it as the Summit model. And the rest, as they say, is history.

hummm , interesting. I have ssen a stove just like that before on Ebay and i thought it was a Napoleon stove. Actually have have seen 2 different stoves for sale that looked like that.

Lopi “Elan”

Now that sounds more like it. I was thinking Napoleon and should been thinking Lopi .

I was thinking its a non cat stove and was an 80's model stove , unsure if made into the 90's

Bingo! I thought a northwesterner would get it. Though I think Tom was very close. Wouldn't be surprised if this is the twin of the Avalon Avanti.

BB, your suggestion almost had coffee coming out of my nose. Good one!

Roo, I've been uncovered. Fun wasn't it? I think we should do this regularly.

I got it the same way Roo got it, I was just quicker. Heck I am so "green" when it comes to wood and wood stoves I have no idea what I am looking at, but I figured you got it from craigslist, so I looked their real quick. I am however getting more and more educated everyday from this site

edit: and I see that I have been promoted to a "Burning Chunk" cool

Oh man! I'm so bummed about the Country Strker now. I could have that sitting in the living room. I would have painted it like the back of a school bus. Check out the simularities:

For fun you could have metal cut outs of people just inside the glass trying to escape from the burning bus.
