So much for the tax refund!

[tjnamtiw]

I pulled the pin and just bought a small wood/coal burning cook stove from Sopka. http://newwoodstoves.net/index.php/product/royal-720 This will serve to keep my small basement room from freezing in really cold weather when I'm running my pellet stoves and there's not heated air being blown down there. Plus it will be my cooking source for emergencies and AHBL Day.

I know at first glance this should go over to the wood burner forum; however, the owner told me that he will shortly be introducing a new pellet stove from Europe that will require no electricity, which is one reason I got the little wood burner. A back up for the back ups. His cook stoves are made in Serbia, his home country, but I'm not sure where this new pellet stove will be made.

As he described it, the stove would be gravity fed. Many coal radiant heat stoves are fed this way if not stokers or hand fed. The Franco Belge I had was fed from a sealed hopper over the burning coal bed. As the coal burned down, fresh coal ran out of the hopper and kept the coal bed height constant. Since the hopper was sealed, no oxygen could get up there to ignite the coal. Worked great. I don't see any reason a pellet stove of similar construction wouldn't work. The big difference obviously would be that it would go from a blower style convection stove to a radiant heat type, which would require greater clearances probably.

ok, that stove is just the neatest thing I have seen, how much did it cost?

Tax refund! What's that? All I seem to do is pay. I might get a federal, But always seem to have to pay the state! :red:

<----- We spent 1/2 our tax refund on that.

Cool stove...

I spent our tax refund on a badass laptop, first time in five years I actually got to even see any of the refund $..

The wife always seemed to make it disappear.

gravity fed pellet stoves for tent applications are already out there , i do not know of a residential one though it may exist.

ive been toying in my mind of a "teg" powered pellet stove runing a closed loop recharge of a battery power source for a while now but been too danged busy to actively pursue the concept. hoping when things settle down some i can get a chance to play with it actively

The biggest hurdle for a small importer is to get UL approval and EPA. He said the EPA approval costs $30,000 so the manufacturer is paying that and having it tested as we speak.
He also has a new stove that fits right into the space where a normal range goes, which is REALLY interesting. If you look closely, you'll see that the sides have hollow, double walled sections with a lot of holes on the top. All of these items are now used in Europe, especially Eastern Europe. I visited my relatives in Slovakia and they were cooking on wood stoves out in the 'summer kitchen'.

Wow, that Elk model chews up 3 bags a day! Better not have your tent far from your pickup!

That isn't a bad price.

Very nice...... Love the look on that Cook stove. Modern take on an old classic.

No, I'll post some pictures when it gets here Monday or Tuesday. Better blow the dust off of my log splitter! I'm definitely bringing back a few bags of anthracite coal on my trip to Pa in a few weeks!

Tax refund? He!! folks, the goal is to not give them anything that has to be refunded.

It is even better if they still have to pay you.

Oh yea, I know the drill, J.

 

[Fsappo]

$1050??? Thats a great price on a neat little stove! I would want to have one...just to have one.

 

[tjnamtiw]

Well, my little wood burning cook stove got here yesterday! It was very well packed, as you can see, and pretty as I had hoped. Now to get busy and hook it up.

 

[DexterDay]

Very beautiful! ! Congratulations. Looking forward to when you do get it installed.

 

[jtakeman]

Very nice TJ, We be waiting to see fire! ;-)

You and me both!

You should have seen the 18 wheeler with the 48' trailer trying to get into my little 1 1/2 lane road to deliver it! One turn is probably 150 degree turn and another is a 90 degree with brick light posts on either side. Give him credit though. He made it.

I guess I will post this over on the fireplace forum too, but I WILL keep you updated. My son can't wait to cook on it.

Forget the fire .... where's the turkey dinner with all the fix-ens?

You got that right

Part of the reason for the stove is that I've become a survivalist, at least a beginning one. This baby will heat and cook when the lights go out for good. 3 acres of oak behind me, plenty of ammo, and a swimming pool with 25,000 gallons of water, and racks of long term storage food. You BETTER know the password! ha ha ha

Got a couple hundred acres of woods behind me, but no wood stove yet. Ammo and weapons check, water by the cubic boat load check. I might want to do something about the long term storage food. I can go several months with what I have but that is always something to work on. Got a new pressure canner so I could restart an old family tradition. The worst part will be no cold brews until cold season hits.

Where are you planing on installing that puppy?
