Thanks cabinover, I had a feeling it would be as simple as that.

MA - Have you thought about running her with nut?

PS - Clean water *IS* the "next oil" ...everyone should brace themselves. ESPECIALLY if you are on public sewer.

That clinker door piece looks simple enough to make a wooden pattern and have one cast by Tomahawk.

I have a few bags of 'nut but the stove size I have burns SO nice and the big pieces won't go anywhere.

2 years, 3months, and 3 days later the Home Sparkle 12 is lit and the fire is building. Initial thoughts:

The burn off of the polish was not bad at all...of course I wouldn't mind if the house stunk.

The basement area it's in is much warmer compared to starting a fire in the box stove, thank you cast iron

About time!

I was thinking you might be on SS before you got it done

I bet it will work great. I like the style of it.

Excellent Smithers

Let the death match begin!!!

One bit of advice, if I may

.....

Under no circumstances walk away from it in direct draft wide open and forget that you have done so. Especially on a clean pile reload....it will accelerate like a Saturn V main engine

haha funny you should mention that. I was impressed with the heat coming off her with a dozen matchlite briquettes, then 1/2 a barrel of anthracite...she gets hot fast is right!

How many lbs of coal you figure she’ll hold Mike?
