I'm up toward the lake just south of Vermilion between Oberlin and Wakeman. Lexington H.S. class of '72.
I just installed an older USStove/Vogelzang/InsertBrandHere/TR009 Performer yesterday and cranked it pretty good with a combination of seasoned...
Here ya go. It's a basic boxwood design. Firebox is 31L x 16W x approx 18H. I attempted a fire brick support arrangement for a plate I have that...
'Preciate all the input, sir. Thank you.
How would the flue conversion conform to code? It's my understanding that a flue collar/ flue pipe to chimney connection needs to be the same size...
Thanks for the follow up and comments. I was tempted by the price and nice condition but the 8" -> 6" conversion sorta killed it for me. Would...
For anyone else who may be interested, this Fisher is in Sullivan, Oh. just around the corner from Dexter Day's place. I'm sure he'd be happy to...
And after finding some more information, I see it isn't one of the "76" versions. Unfortunately I think the 8" flue collar will be the killer for...
So it is an 8" flue collar then? Is there a baffle plate on these?
Some searching and digging around seems to indicate a Grandpa Bear? 457lbs? Late 1970's? 6" flue collar? And a great deal? A 'Bicentennial' maybe?
Available locally. Not much info on it other than "Heavy. Need gone." Asking price is $200. Looks to be in good shape. Oh, and "The pipe comes...
Forgot to ask..., was all the wood completely burned?
I thought about the firebrick too, but the sides of the stove are curved and wouldn't provide much stability for a baffle without some type of...
I lack both the welder and the skill set, but the approach would certainly be a better one than using stainless nuts and bolts. On the other hand,...
Just picked up an old USSC 2421 Logwood in excellent condition for my shop. 28' stack straight up through the building with exceptionally strong...
It sounds like you simply have too much stove for the application (as you've stated) and maybe underestimated its overall performance capability /...
Got really spoiled by a small freestanding Quad 2100 at our previous home but it stayed there when we moved into our new place which has a...
That is some superb redneckery, my man! I'll definitely keep those fans in mind when it's time to swap mine out. Thanks for the pics.
I hated pulling those covers..., at least the ones on my particular 1401. The screw locations and cover openings to access em don't line up too...
My 1401 does pretty well without the blowers on. It's in a decent sized masonry hearth opening and radiates well. Not like a stand alone would,...
