wkpoor said:Laugh all you want but my neighbor has a stove similar to that only it has 2 doors on the front, and trust me, they don't make a stove today to rivel the output of those old dinosaurs. He can load his with enough wood for a 24hr burn and I'm not talkin what you guys call burn time, I'm talkin fire time. It will raise his 40x60 cement pad shop to 80 degrees. Sure it belchin smoke to beat hell but when you walk in you aren't tryin to get warm next to some little dinky EPA thing. You can feel the heat radiating off it clear across the shop. No I wouldn't want that in my home, but in the right sitting those can be just the right tool for the job.

I'm guessing the white indicates overfiring?
Does that mean the metal has changed properties and is definitely "done", or just that the stove has been abused and *may* be done?

I just recently sold 2 Nashaus in very good condition for 250.00 ea. I think old steel stoves have a value in that range. Anyone asking more is just fishing.JKoz said:I just replaced the same stove (Fisher Mama Bear) with a Jotul F600. No question, the Fisher quickly put out a lot more heat. It also (for me) had two speeds of operation. Fast where an entire load was burned to coals in a few hours. Slow where it was a creosote machine. I had extreme difficulty having sufficient coals remaining to get a fire going again in the AM. I think the ideal use is for a garage or shop where you want it to quickly heat up the space.
I'm getting ready to sell mine soon if a coworker does not buy it. Mine is in excellent shape and still has the claw feet. If this one is worth $275 I wonder what I can get!
