Old fisher is ready for winter

[Turner87]

Just finished up my old fisher stove in my garage. Used stove bright Satin black, after a lot of wire wheel time. I'm very pleased

Take that magik heat creosote factory off of there and it will be ready also check you have 36" to that backwall

Came out really nice. Not knowledgeable about Fishers. Did you add a baffle?

Hope you got your flak jacket on cause that heat reclaimer will draw fire round here.* didn't even get to post before the first shot!

The stove looks great but do respect its clearance requirements. It may be ok, hard to tell from a front photo.

Looks awesome great job.

Yes it has enough clearance, I installed the magic heat last year and never had a issue with creosote. It doesn't get burned everyday all day. Just here and there when we go out in the garage. Helps warm my 30x40 up great. I haven't installed a baffle yet, I do have the dimensions to make one.

I couldnt really tell from the pic but i thought it looked a little close. Had to check. As far as the magic heat goes i will not work on a stove with one on uless the homeowner lets me remove it. I dont think they have any place in a wood stove vent.

Does anyone have a better ideal for getting better heat other then the magic heat? I thought about building a blower for the stove but really don't want to modify the fisher.

A baffle and proper burning techniques with good wood. Put a fan behind it blowing over the stove to help extract a little more heat. But really with a stove like a fisher you are going to waste a fair amount of heat up the stack or you are going to get allot of creosote
