I'm by far the biggest noob when it comes to coal stoves. I just purchased a home that has what appears to be a turn of the century coal stove in the basement, with floor vents apparently used as primary heating source years ago. My issue with this stove is I have no clue how to begin to use it. I've used wood stoves for many years but this thing has me stumped. Seeing as its "playing with fire" so to speak, I'd rather get advice on it then burn my house down. Anyone that can help and give me some good advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum.
Can you post more pictures? Be sure to post some of the inside of the firepot, grates and ashpan area..

Well, I've discovered that Brann is Norwegian for fire. So I'm guessing it is from Norway. Your pic came up on pintrest in a search.

The more detailed pics you can provide, the easier it will be for someone to help you with it.Tuscanitib wrote:Yes, I have found it as being Scandinavian. Now just to figure out how to use it and all will be well lol. I will get more pictures posted later tonight
I myself am curious about the 2 bottom doors, with what appears to be a shaker handle in between them.

Interesting, My wife being from Denmark found the castings on the stone quite appropriate. The top being the Norwegian Fjord horse out plowing the field. And the lower appears to be a small Viking ship. Good luck with what appears to be a classic.

Kind of resembles the Jotul 507 in shape and she sure is a cute stove! Wish it had been in my basement
If it turns out usable, Im betting you could follow loading/shaking etc procedures of the Jotul model. Of course your chimney has to be usable too.
