Well Im not sure if there is other threads on here, but I love seeing pics of the older stoves. I often find myself google searching images for these fine relics. Im wondering if You Antique Guys would like to share pics of your stoves. Maybe this will turn into a sticky as long as the "new wave metal" don't get to grumpy. What do you guys think?

Great photography congrats, you have a talent. Your dance of the blue ladies video shows talent too. Coool stove choice too. Now sell the photo to hearth.com and make your money then get rid of that tree stuff before you get termites and it clogs up your BB passages.

But a really nice photo!
the yrs. of wood experience in my past would only allow me one choice but, i'm getting older and less inclined to some things even for sound economic reasons.

Back in those days there was intense competition and that broadened the appeal. Marketing was marketing back then too. There was/is no depths that a sales dept will not sink. I've even read an ad that says Ford medium trucks is a good business decision. I would love to see a long boroscope shoved into the back cleanout passages and ash pan base cover of a #6 that has been burning wood for years. At very least that is not a job for amateurs.all GW #6 and #8's SAY coal or wood right on the load door

So you don't damage the stove, practice looking at your colon first.

I firmly believe in practicality and everything being used . This is my main source of heat in the the house . I don't have natural gas or a furnace to back up those chilly days or the warm days but cold nights . So I burn wood until it stays below 40 consistently . Then I switch to coal. These stoves are meant to burn wood and coal equally as well. Even some of the guys you look up to on this forum mainly burn wood ... I won't mention names ,
If it's warm outside I don't need to be wasting my coal . The hardwood I burn doesn't have much build up inside the stove . It is mainly red and white oak and some hickory . I burned some maple early on in the year but I don't like the sugar in it and realized that was a big mistake but I also keep the stove pretty clean and frequently . Wood can be a pain yes but I wouldn't be so elitist about coal because when you can't get it you're gonna be putting logs in that pretty stove .
Oh I also get as much free hardwood board ends as I want year round for free because I work at a saw mill .
I also have a cast iron wood grate that Doug at Barnstable makes which is perfect for burning wood and protects the rollers below . So yes I have a "wood stove" and a "coal stove" .

The Pearl Cannon heater that actually sparked the idea to burn coal and brought me to this forum and this is the photo of the one and only time I burned coal in it . It was not meant for a house with close quarters . and the thread to explain The Pearl Cannon Heater Test Drive
Then we have the warm morning 414a that I drug out of a salvage yard and restored and used which was actually the first coal stove I lit and remained my main heater in the house for a few years until I got the G6
It also served as a forge inside the house for tweaking my coal tools I had forged at work.
This little sun was neat and probably still in the salvage yard , buried behind a bunch of crap
and you have already seen the G6 but here is a G6 in a crate !
