Just bought my first coal stove. It's a used one out of someones basement. I can't find any data plate. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Judging by the gaps between the grates, It needs nut or larger to work properly.

Here's the only plate I can find. On the base in front of the ash door.
And a picture of the grates.

Welcome Fire!!!!!

Hang in there someone who is familiar with the stove will chime in and start asking you some questions. Good shot of the stove and grates.

Again welcome and be patient. Someone will sign in and comment.

Its a simple durable looking design other than the oak leaves which could have been added later. I wouldnt be surprised if its Amish made but Im not an expert. It looks like a good stove, so no matter the maker it should work good.

Looks like it has air vents on the load door. That's nessacery for burning bituminous if you plan on burning it.

I've never seen one like it before, so I can't help with identification. What are the firebox dimensions, just out of curiosity?

Welcome, FT.

For nut size, up to 1/2 inch gaps in the grates is acceptable. Wider gaps than that and it'll drop a lot of the smaller chunks within the range of nut size.

Are you planning on burning bit (soft), or anthracite (hard) coal? It looks to me like the secondary air feed might be on the small side to handle burning off the volatiles of bit coal well ????

Dimensions inside, brick to brick are about 14" by 15" and about 10" from the bottom of the loading door to the grates. The sides are tapered some as they go down to the grates.

The plan is to burn anthracite.
