Looks more like the push/pull type wood grate.

I assume that with lift out cross bars you can not turn it to dump clinkers, so I guess the magic is if it can get rid of clinkers at all ? :what:

I'm thinking that grate was not very popular because that's the first one I've ever heard still existed.

Skip said they weren’t popular, it pushes and pulls and dumps to the left like a plain wood grate, I suspect it would work well with wood

Somebody please fix those pictures.


What a beauty!!! I believe that’s the prettiest cook stove I’ve ever seen.

Wow!!!!

Doesn’t appear to have ever been used. Has it?

If not, I believe it deserves to be preserved as is. Least not burned hard.

Thanks
It was lightly used, I sand blasted and painted the cook top and inner panels and had the nickel re plated so it is brand new now

Is it still setup for kero, or that magic grate, or have you put real coal grates in it ?

The magic grates are in it currently but I have left the fire brick out Incase whoever buys it wants cast liners and wood grates. I’m going to ask all the money for it so I figure I’ll cater to what ever fuel they want.
The kero set up was half missing so it went in the scrap pile with the rest of them

I know some of the grate sets swap to different models. I wonder if this set of Glenwood triangular cabinet grates fit it, also ? Here's the topic;

identification

If it does, I know where there's a couple of the correct Glenwood range triangular grate shaker handles. ;)

A lot of cabinet models interchange with the 508E, the home grands are huge, the fancy one I Have in my house had a firebox extension and will take a 26” piece of wood! I made a plastic refractory plug for it for when I burn coal, back to my point, the grands I believe we’re their own entity very little to my knowledge interchanges, skip has all new recast frames and grates for these stoves so if someone wants it set up for coal I’ll make up some bricks and get all the stuff from skip.

OK, good that coal grates are available for it.

That set of cabinet triangular grates I linked to are in terrific shape. I hope they find a stove to be used in.

I hope such a nice coal grate set finds a good home. I know the frustration without them, and then, how wonderful it is having them ! ;)

I may have mentioned the Heco cook stove able to be ordered with DS coal grates. I just heard today the Kitchen Queen is dropping the 380/480 line for a 500/700 series and can also be ordered with coal grates as well as reburn systems. This should make these stoves more appealing for coal users.

These may not be like antiques but it’s another great option for a coal cook stove. I like the summer grate option as well for wood and if you need it as a heater it has a huge firebox for wood and not too bad for coal as well. Should hold a large amount of nut/pea coal.

Still not as practical as the antiques, but you also don’t need to worry about asbestos, cracking castings, etc., and you have a large glass window for viewing and enjoying the fire as well as additional radiant heat. Too bad they don’t try to emulate some of the better designed and older stoves more.

Guess I got my monies worth!!!! Also added 3 more feet triple wall pipe to the chi.chimney to clear the peak or the roof... What a difference that made stove has spme lungs to it now I had to learn tending it all over again made a huge difference and my back puff issue in a stiff south wind are gone.
