Took a look at a wwII era coles original hot blast coal stove. Anyone know anything about them. Its original, hardly used and all intact. Its not a pretty stove but for what they want for it I can't pass on it just for a piece of history. It looks like a vertical 30- gallon drum no fancy design, sits on a 4 leg base and oval top flue. It has a slide on top of stove with approx 2" dia. disc and off that has a pipe that runs down to bottom of stove. All smooth finish on outside no ornate decorations. should I buy it? Shaker grate works, grate intact and all firebrick intact.

It was designed to burn bit coal. The hot blast is that vertical pipe that conducts hot air to just above the fire pot to burn off the smoke of soft coal. Should work very well with anthracite or even wood.

I am going to scoop it up. I am glad to hear it can burn anthracite . I did find a old add for the hot blast and they do show the down pipe feeding the air showing picture of a larger flame. Its not the chubby I am looking for but for the money like I said I cant pass on it. I guess cole mfg. made a lot of product from what I can see but I cant find any info on this stove as of yet.

Blizzard do you still have this stove ? I'm about to pick up a Coles hot blast next week. The model I'm picking up is a lot older than WWII era though. I believe it's 1920s .

I never did pick up the stove but the person may still have it. I did not like the design for the removal of ash, looked like a pain. Is the one you might be getting look like the pictures I sent in? If you do get it give me some feedback and maybe I will still grab it. Bliz.

There is supposed to be a finial on top covering the surface.
Look at this thread Hand Fired JACK POT!
I posted a Coles ad, look at the bottom right corner, it says "shows how dustless ash ------ is used" I can't make out one word but it looks like a manual vacuum of some sort was attached. I can see the ash removal being a slight pain though. I thought about it a little more and I think I may buy the Richmond vA stove next week and hold off on the Coles. But how cheap can you get that Coles ? May be work a polish and sell.

That's for sure the stove. Yours has more ornate decorations than the one I looked at as you can see from the pics I posted. All surfaces were plain as can be. The guy only wanted a 100 bucks. He was a ol-timer and wanted it gone, But I invested in a chubby stove instead. If it looked like yours I probably would have grabbed it. Good luck. Bliz
