That stove really dwarfs the Jotul behind it.

Yes, the 507 is tiny but has the heart of a lion. I put it in the photo so you can get a sense of size perspective.

If I wanted to swap out the chute for a warming oven does anybody have any thoughts? The way I see it nut coal with chute or stove without and a little oven....

Nut coal with chute is the way to go. Why take away one of the nicer features of the stove?

That is why you can afford a fancy lawn mower as you are a smart man. Of course, I can't screw with that feature that would be silly. OK, so you and Freddy have ruined today's silly ideas, now I need to take a midday nap and come up with all new and even more daft notions. I know, I will randomly bomb a far away country that has never hurt me in any way and kill a bunch of innocent civilians that I say I am protecting - there, pick holes in that plan IF you can.

No I can't afford one a them fancy lawn mowers. Don't know why you call them fancy, they look like any other typical wet back.

At least with the rest of your plan you are finally getting with the program. If you are still confused Sam will explain it.

My isinglass windows boo hoo

... and it was ....... roll on the drums .... a complete bust. My isinglass windows melted (I assumed they were isinglass).

Used a little kindling wood and charcoal and I got the stove to about 250F and the 6" pipe got to about 200F and the chimney started to draw. Some smoke around the door edges but not too bad. Killed the fire, had a beer, took defeat like a man and cried for 30 minutes.... HELP. What went wrong? When I shut the circular draft control it really calmed it down so I assume it is at least fairly air tight.

I guess Kevin has not made the transition to a soft friendly Tennessean and is still a bitchy Mainer at heart.... may your 3000 need a critical part in a snowstorm ... HAHAHAHAA, I slay myself I am so damned funny. Where's William? He will have some nice friendly words of encouragement.

Dang, I thought that look like plastic...but photos do sometimes fool a guy.

Damn and I thought the old buzzard who sold it to me was on the up and up, I could strangle her. So that's why I can smell burnt plastic....

52 years of staring into the snow and fog and rain and bugs.....and you think a year down here will cure me?????

If I keep hanging out with all these people that pray constantly, I will either be struck by lightning or cured. Only time will tell.
