There is a leisure line 'patch' near the botton back of the stovery but none of the boxes are checked.

I'm thinking it's either a lil heater or a pioneer?

Looks like a Lil Heater. They came with a coaltrol, at least mine did. Just my two cents.

I too would think that it's a little heater except for the legs. The legs on mine are short and stubby. On the leisure line Web site the legs on the little heater appear to be longer and curved. Maybe they have changed its appearance over time?

I'm thinking now thats it's an econo 1 as well.

I just want to be sure incase I have to order parts. Looks like I'll be replacing the gasket around the main door first.

Thanks everyone.

This might be a lame excuse but I've either had a weak flu or a strong cold the past week. Other than working for a paycheck I haven't done a thing. Been taking over the counter cold and flu meds to help me sleep. The worst of it is over. Going to try and put in a shear pin tomorrow for a blower and then coal stove install.

[Off topic] I have a small 25 horse diesel tractor where I stripped a shear pin on the front snow blower attachment. The pin does not line up left to right over the hole. Even though winter is losing its grip I'd like to take care of that first. I volunteered to blow my little old lady neighbor's driveway (no charge) and wrapped a steel rebar around the auger. The bar was under the snow in het driveway and I never saw it. After 3 hours of unwrapping the bar, I got the auger to work again, only to shear the pin and find the holes don't line up. That'll teach me to do something for free. lol.

For the coal stove......single wall black pipe inside to the thimble. The crimped ends face the end of the pipe.

Is it OK to use a 90 degree elbow that swivels? Concerned that carbon monoxide might leak through where it swivels. I have pipe cement. Is it acceptable to cement the swivel joints or even needed? Lots of newbie questions.

I don't use pipe cement, even when I take ashes out with stove shut off the chimney makes a draft. It could not hurt any and I only use flex elbows.

Supposed to be negative pressure to make chimney draft...no CO leak from negative...but foil tape or Permatex black silicone works if you like.
