    Just bought a house and this came with it. It’s the Fisher grandma bear model from what I’ve been able to find online. Replacing the firebricks now which is turning out to be quite a job. Looking forward to getting her up and running in a couple weeks!

    Cool stove Sackett! Looking forward to some action shots of that thing keeping you warm. If you have any questions just page Coaly or WeldrDave. They know their stuff when it comes to Fisher stoves.

    Thanks for the information Marvin! I’ll reach out to those guys if I have any questions. Should have the firebrick all replaced by this weekend and might try and touch her off and see how she runs.

    Looking good! I have a soft spot for the old steel stoves. The fire screen is awesome!
