    I'm an appraiser and was going thru this house and the lady of the home just couldn't wait to show me their wood stove. I just didn't know what to say.:rofl: :lol:

    Um,....Um.....WTH?!!!
    Death trap.
    Getting serious now, ....what's the problem?:confused:
    No, really serious this time.....why hasn't the dryer vent melted?
    Is that a galvanized wash tub on top of the "stove"?
    I'm in awe....and not in a good way.

    Kind of reminds of a lady neighbor across the road. Thank God she stopped burning her stove last year.. she's just turned 92... He husband had built the stove, hot air plenum sat over the top in their basement.. They used this stove for over 20 years I'm thinking... Thing that killed me,, it had a single wall 6 inch pipe that ran horizontally at least 12 feet before going into a masonry chimney... The single wall pipe pasted by a wooden support post in the basement by 1 inch... They had asbestos paper wrapped around the pole! I should get some pictures next time she calls me to fix here cable channel again... I think the only reason she didn't have a chimney fire was she burned 3 year old wood.... She only burned the stove during the day too.....

    Oh believe me, I was always waiting to see the Fire Department at her home... God must have been watching over that set up!

    Is that a Lincoln grill? :eek:
    I do not think I could have restrained myself. :rofl: :lol:
    Look at the bright side, they did at least use black stove pipe. :popcorn:

    I think you should mention that just encase there might be an issue that they should have a WETT inspector come take at look at it.

    The galvanized wash tub was some sort of contraption that collects warm air and then feeds it to the furnace ducts.

    Prototype for the new high efficiency stove.
    Alpha testing ?
    Must work
    Stove Mfg's might learn from the inventiveness
    ( unless it melts before they see it)

    Just because you got a look at that fine stove set up Mitch, don't you dare try to low ball her and buy that thing for yourself.
