Welcome back Auntie V.
Sorry to hear about the first 116, but good find on the second 116. The back pipe along is a $300.00 add-on if you bought the stove restored from a stove shop.
You could try contacting the Noxram manufacture - The Nock and Son Company, and see who they sell to nearest you.

Hi AuntieV good to hear from you. Try Bryant's Stove shop for the noxram 207-568-3665 they are in Thorndike but don't go there because you will end up buying another antique stove!

Hi there and welcome back.
That was a close one. To accidentally break your stove and then find another so close by. The back pipe is going to make a big difference in your efficiency rating. It will be a lot easier to run the stove at really low temperatures and you will save a lot coal when it is cranking.
Keep any and all spare parts. Things like base frames and trim pieces can be easily copied. Grates also are easily copied.
You are ahead of the game by all accounts.
Please keep us informed of your progress.

I forgot how much I missed this site. (I don't spend much time online)
Ok- I called Bryant's. She said they do have "refractory" but didn't seem to think it was Noxram and didn't have any additional information about what they do have except that it is $50/50lb box. That is exactly what I paid at the Love Barn last year.
I also took the suggestion of contacting Nock & Son and they put me in touch with Infab Refractories in Lewiston. They have the Noxram 40AS for $32 or the 70P for $50.
The stuff I paid $50 for last year was the 40AS. The 70P is more "heavy-duty". Does anyone have any experience with the 70P?

Hello Auntie!!
Thanks for directing me this way. I had read it actually, but now that I have a big stove in the house I'll be reading it a few times over. Those are very pretty hands in the photo with the firepot! Like my eldest daughter's.

Notice the picture of the cogs showing the one wide tooth and space. As I mentioned in your thread, that's to align each pair of grate bars to it's mate so that they always have their flat sides line up when they are facing upwards to support the firebed.
Just incase you ever need to take your grate bars out of their frame.

I'm slow to get my bearings and don't feel at all familiar with the stove yet but I will absorb all this thoroughly in the end.

As a coach used to tell me to help put the "worrying about it" things in perspective. He'd say, "Don't worry. There's only about 20 things you can do wrong. You'll figure it out shortly."
There is light at the end of the tunnel. And when you get there and look back, ..... the tunnel will look shorter then it did from the other end !
