With the forecast calling for rain and an overnight low in the 30's, it was time to put a little Halloween glow in the Man Cave.
The jar of match light charcoal sat patiently on the work bench for weeks awaiting this very day.
Wanting the house to be nice and toasty for the little Halloweeners, I slid over the swing top, dumped the jar of charcoal down the magazine and threw in a match.
In a few minutes the flames tickled the top and lit up the room.
About 15 minutes later, with a good 4" deep bed of glowing charcoal, I slid the swing top off to the side and filled the firepot right to the rim. It was just about a half hour after dropping in the match that the dance of the blue ladies made its debut.
Within an hour it was in base burner mode with the MPD closed, the primary open just a crack and she was purring like a kitten.

Even with the cad programs, cnc routers, 3d printers, lasers, plasma, and water jet technology at our fingertips, just designing and producing the patterns required to build a comparable stove that does not require gaskets would be a feat. ............. And cost a fortune!

It will be interesting to hear your coal usage with this stove and how it compares to a G6 or a suspended pot style stove. Theses stoves are absolutely beautiful all lit up. Paul do you intend to run this stove 24/7 all season?

is it best practice to have the check open while shaking is it ??
otherwise, those nickle upper surrounds and bonnets are even more awesome when lit up than ever.

Beautiful yes, but all that nickel also serves another purpose.
Those old stove builders knew a trick, or two - polished nickel is a well known low infrared heat reflector.
All that nickel plated overhang of the bonnet helps reflect some of the low infrared heat waves coming from the stove body below out into the room. Those heat rays going up at a steep angle would otherwise go toward the ceiling.
It sure is a beauty, Paulie. And I see it's easily getting near that 5 to 1 stove to pipe temps heat extracting range on it's first run.

Until the outside temperatures level out it's going to be hard to determine the actual consumption.Canaan coal man wrote: ↑Thu.

Since it only has a 12" firepot, and I'm heating right around 4,000 sf, unfortunately its use will be limited to the shoulder months.
For its size, it does hold quite a bit of coal. The magazine is funnel shaped, and with a 4" bed of charcoal, it took 66 lbs of nut coal to top it off. Before I shake down this morning I topped it off with the remainder of the second 50 lb bag. It is idled back now with the outside temperature approaching 60*F so I'm sure it's running well under 1 lb per hour.
