OK, now I have inspected this masterpiece, I am totally in awe of Pierres abilities (again). It is perfect! The grate I put it in has an ash cleaning door at the back which goes to the basement. If we reverse that one and put a variable speed fan in the bottom ash out door, bingo, this should blast hot air into the room very effectively. God, this thing is unique and given the size of the grate, a total, super-efficient, heat machine. I need to move faster, old age stinks.

FF, I now realize that life in my seventies is an escalator downward. I need to do things now as apparently in my 80s it becomes an elevator.

OK, today is Sunnyside day. I have read and re read the posts from Pierre and now we take the plunge. It's really hard to get a comprehensive user/service manual for a 170 year old stove and yet here i have the ultimate guide. This is not a collector item, it has to be put straight to work. My sons are discussing having me committed (again). Shelley is watching and I am sure is skeptical. Tomorrow will be no fun temp wise and the upstairs needs a little help.
So this heater goes from MaIne to QC, gets a total 5 year rebuild and minor redesign. I am a little worried as I wonder if my install and application is right. This is very different than what I am used to. Into the breach we go. Pics ... of course. I am nervous.

So a brilliant original stove design, optimized and rebuilt by one the greatest stove engineers on the planet, 544 posts inputting ideas from the best anthracite burners on the planet, and clever me, I threw in some match light and added coal and I am already in flawless heaven. All buttoned down, base burner working just perfect. Even a wood burner could have done it. OK, one pic of the matchlight flaring - done. I need to get back to work.... Apologies to those guys that expected more drama. No Zeiss lenses here sorry, a new camera is on my Xmas list.

Hi CN my US friend, very proud you got it running, that stove is the best one I got in my 33 Yrs of burning, 23 with wood and 10 with anthr. I got many new wood stoves and one new Vig ll anthracite burner and the Golden Bride. They all had some *good* sides but the Sunny can't be compare to them. I remember asking to William if antique stoves and Baltimore Heater were worth to be use as principal heating source... . The song says it *Nothing compare to....*
But for me anthracite burning is ended, not from insatisfaction but from other personale reasons.
So having the Sunny back home in the USA and in the house of CN is a real consolation.
I wish the best Winter to all of you.

Hi CN
As a side note, is that a tube amp I spy on the mantle?
