Pierre,

His stove will run on equally well on both sizes. Since he bought bulk coal, he'll have both sizes available in his mix. Sort of a custom size coal if you will.

That is a really, really excellent stove. I can't wait for you to find out what 90 plus efficiency feels like. I noticed the check damper is right at the bottom of the back pipe on the out side. I've never seen one in that spot before. Prepare to be amazed and have people not believe you when you tell them how good your Base Heater is. You will save your self a lot of money in coal consumption compared to the Harmon.

Some steel wool and a wire brushing with a power drill will quickly get rid of that surface rust. It wont take long. Does the stove have its finial or are you going to have to find one?

Well it was a long weekend in the garage wire bushing and steel wooling, vacumed all out and used me leaf blower and blew her out , sealed all the joints today everywhere I could get , looks a hundred times better, tomm I will start polishing her, new mica is on the way for the door

3 hrs later came the argument with the wife

I think it is a crying shame. I guess the other half wont give the Oakland a chance. If she only knew how much better these stoves are and how easy they are to run, she would change her mind.

The stove looks really nice, see what a little elbow grease can accomplish.
