I've been looking for a good deal for another stoker for my PA home & think I found one. I had to travel a couple hours to just north of Williamsport to get it, but I think it was worth it.
My stove is a Leisure Line, but I'm not quite sure of the model. The ID tag on it doesn't have a mark in any of the model boxes & doesn't even mention the model that it looks like on the Leisure Line web site. To me, it looks like a Li'l Heater. The ID tag shows the Econo I & Econo Sidewinder, but not the Li'l Heater. I can't find any pic's of an Econo I to compare to though. My stove has the Coal-Trol system on it, so I don't think it's a really early model. I was able to get the serial number, 10753 from the tag. I need to confirm the model.
I'm going to need to replace the upper door gasket & broken glass in that door. Other than that & a little cleaning & fresh high temp paint & the stove will look new again. The stainless steel chimney cap, stovepipe & a large plate of steel for closing off a fireplace came with it.
Here are pics of my stove & the Li'l Heater from the Leisure Line web site.
Oh.... do you think $200 was too much to pay for it?

Real good deal. When you install put a new Baro dampner in. It is really important on these. I have one that does not have a coal trol it is really simple and well built.

Wow, it get's even better!
Today, I called Leisure Line & spoke with one of the owners, Matt. I wanted to confirm that it is a Li'l Heater like I thought. It is. Then I gave him the serial number to find out how old it is. He told me that it was made in either 2013 or 2014.
Other than a little superficial rust in a few spots, this stove looks really good to me. Like it wasn't used all that much. I wondered though.
Here's the best part....
The guy I bought the stove from told me that he bought his house four years ago. He also said that he unhooked the stove & moved it to his garage before he even moved in. That means that this stove couldn't have been used for more than one or two seasons!
By the time I replace the broken glass & door gasket & shoot a little paint on it, I'll have an almost new Leisure Line with a Coal-Trol for just about $300.
