WS Keystone for sale in Flint

Went down to gladwin met the seller picked up Our new stove.Seller was selling for his sister after her husband passed can't believe that nobody in thier family wanted it.They only used it in early fall and spring lived down south in the winter.Had a little surface rust that wiped off with a little effert and a scotch brite got it looking like new one tiny gauge in one of the top pieces easily sanded out missing the exterior stone were flue cover is a hinge pin lost.Iam making a list and ordering some parts gasket mainetnance kit along with missing stone and pin.Its going to need a new interam gasket that wraps the combuster that I took apart to clean.THANKS AGAIN papadave I will have to get some pics

 

That's cool , glad you got it

 

Well.....yeah.
Obviously.

 

Got some dusty pics cleaned the soapstone with fine steelwool.I have it in the barn right now clean it up got to tape it off and get it ready for paint (2 coates of high temp )
before I bring it in and install it in the fireplace need to do some fiquring there as well for the install.

 

Looks pretty dang clean.

 

Its going to look like new when Iam done

 

We'll need pics of FIRE, of course.
We can wait til it gets chilly out.

 

After replacing all the gaskets that needed replacing and a piece soapstone that was missing.The stove was then professionally painted(yours truley) rust removed sanded 2 coats from woodstock high temp paint. We had the first fire in her last night never going to be the same home again.It amazes me how efficient this stove is.This was a awesome deal and feel that I lucked out its fits like the room was made for it.




HEY papadave pics to come

 

Also thought I would add while replacing the gasket between stone and door I found the persons name and date of build engrved on the backside of soapstone 4-23-98.Previous owners took great care of it and I have all the original reciepts and literature.

 

I've found a couple of Fireviews and another Keystone recently.
Maybe it was the other way 'round.
Several BKs, but like I said earlier, those are all the older models w/o glass and they have the drop down door.
Still looking for a BK Princess.

 

Great deal, your going to love that stove.

 

That's my feeling on the Keystone we picked up this summer as well, not quite as good a deal as yours but still a good deal. It amazes me how long this stove burns compared to our old one, I still had plenty of coals for a relight after 12 hours without even trying. In the old Jotul it would have just been cold iron.
