Yea that's my ad.
Bought it in 2017, it was never fired. hooked it up, would not stay lit.
There's a timer module that is bad and what happens is the fire just gets pushed off the grate. the timer shuts off the stoker for so many minutes and runs it for so many minutes.
I got the Reading stove and put this crane out in storage.
The owners son belongs to this forum and he told me he was 16 yrs old and was helping his dad build these.
this is the stove that bankrupted Crane i believe.
the internal wiring consists of wire nuts and lamp cord.

Wish I could have found more information on it when I got it. Needed heat and found the Reading stove on marketplace (i have that listed too pending sale) Hooked that up instead and used it till the efm 350 install was completed in 2021.
check out that wiring in my original thread that Rob linked.
Other than mine only saw one other mention online of a Crane stoker.

I have a 87 Triburner i'm going to list too.

lincolnmania,

That part you pictured in the older post model EPC-12511is a solid state timer, maybe it’s a delay on break or delay on make, which is made by artisan controls in NJ.

Give them the number and see if they make a cross reference.
