It is a Chubby Jr, the smaller Chubby stove. I use it in mild weather, and in extremely cold weather as a 2nd stove. The shield is a heat shield I built from an old fireplace screen, adding tin to it and painting it. The wall behind it is faux brick so needs a heat shield. The platform is a big hunk of cement I formed. Im tall, the stove is short, so i wanted it raised some.charlesosborne2002 wrote: ↑Tue.

Is it meant just to prevent walking into the stove? Also, what is the platform under the stove (besides the black stove board)?
By the way, when I used a wood stove I put a kettle on it for humidity, and where I live is very quiet--people hear something and ask what that sound is--it is the kettle, even though it is not boiling.
I think I am going to get a clothes drying rack to put near my new stove, which should be faster than the dryer and add some moisture. It is not easy to find good clothes racks--the ones at discount stores have already fallen apart on the store shelves. Not like my mama's rack used over the floor furnace.
There may be some good new drying racks made somewhere, but if you want a real good one watch auctions or maybe craigslist or other online places. The old large good ones do not usually go cheap. I do not own an electric dryer. Everything dries in the house in the winter. It does raise humidity but I still need a pan on the stove.
