Our house came with a Fisher Grandfather wood stove. The stove went directly into the paneling in the wall and it showed burn marks from the pipe where the previous owner tried to use the stove. We had the wall redone with brick. It has been twenty-five years now and everything works fine. I'll be posting more pictures and comments as time goes on. Your comments and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
We had a Fisher back where I used to live decades ago and it was a great stove. Can't remember which model. Nice stove Jim.
That's a great looking older stove. I never had one but plenty of friends did and they can throw the heat.
Talk about getting your moneys worth! Hmmm. New thread potential here. Longest currently operating stove in service today! Guessing this one will be right in there.
Thank you for your comments. To follow are some more pictures of the Fisher stove and the surrounding area. The house was constructed in 1978 and the wood stove was put in then. We have been using it for twenty-five years. Wood is stored behind decorative shelves for ambiance.
Love the pics. Reminds me of my time in Alaska. We had a Fisher that looked just like that. In the fall/winter/spring it was the center of our world. I loved that stove and it kept was warm and toasty. We cooked on it and heated the bath water. Where did the time go?
This is the 'heat flap' it is a new addition this year and can be removed in seconds if desired. This let's extra heat be pumped upstairs. We have ductwork above the stove that runs heat to the opposite end of the house. There is a built in fan in the ductwork that draws the heat from the stove and pretty well keeps the upstairs of the house warm.
We have a Hearth Country Ash Vacuum. We found this gem at a yard sale practically brand new for five dollars. It is tucked away out of sight but easily accessible. It is in a handmade vacuum cabinet compete with silverware drawer and toaster on top. It definitely helps to keep the wood stove area clean.
