wood stove

[marlas1too]

well im back for now i just spent all day yesterday hooking the wood cook stove up i got last spring for free in the living room where i closed off the fireplace and vented the pipe into the old fireplace and boy it keeps the whole house warm and it uses less wood than the fireplace did-i found out it was made in the 1920-1930s and the maker no longer is in business as the closed their doors in 1989

Be very careful.

If your insurance finds out you installed it, (uncertified) and heaven forbid you have a fire, you might be out of luck.

Ditto to what Russ said............

Oh I wish I were you. I want a wood cookstove so bad. Of course the way our house is I would have to have another chimney built but oh it would be worth it.

jeanna if there is a junk yard or a salvage yard near you go and ask if they have an old stove there -you never know what you will find there-i see them around here in wv all the time and never over 300 dollars---good hunting---hugs to all fv
