My name is Chris. I'm new to Coalpail and new to coal. I live in a 300 square foot cabin in the woods in Vermont with no water and an outhouse. (But I do have 20 amp electrical service strung through the trees, and I do have wifi. I've got my priorities straight.)
I bought this stove for a dollar. It just needed some shining up and polishing, some new bolts, and some new mica. I re-cemented some joints and blinged it up with some fancy drawer pulls. I hand-formed a refractory liner.
The stove is 37 inches tall and 17 inches wide at the base. The cylinder itself is 10 inches in diameter, hence the model no. 10. The firepot is 12 inches from door to grate.
The stove is missing the finial. If anyone knows where I can find one, please let me know.
I've burned wood for any number of years, but I knew absolutely nothing about coal. Anything I now know I learned from these forums. So thank you for letting me lurk. So I figured I'd share my project with you. You all helped make this stove a success.
I burn nut coal with a two-inch layer of rice on top as a means of reducing draft. I shut down all manual drafts. I call this state "idling." At idle, this stove will put out a gentle heat that will keep my little cabin a nice and cozy 74 degrees at 32 degrees outside temperature. When colder outside, I increase the draft by reducing the rice coal layer on top, and even eliminate the rice coal layer entirely. I am quite convinced that this little stove will easily heat a 1000 square foot house. At idle, this stove will run for eighteen hours. To make things easy on myself, I shake down and reload every twelve hours. A forty-pound bag of coal lasts me two days.
So take a look at the pictures. Pat yourselves on the back because you folks all had a hand in making this beauty a functional appliance again. (Please forgive the lime green paint on the walls. I just moved in and the place is a work in progress.)
I'll never burn wood again, unless I have to.

Welcome to the world of coal and this board. The kettle IS the final who needs more. A closer pic of the inside and the back might help us to help you more. Many of us aspire to your lifestyle but lack the courage.

Welcome to the forum.
Interesting and pretty little stove. Definitely need more pictures of back.
Tightening up the clinker and ash doors would give more control.

That was my first thought, trying to make it airtight. I put gasketing around all doors, but I still had way too much draft. I was burning myself out of the house. So I decided to pretend that it was 1884 all over again: I removed any gasketing and the doors are all loosie goosie now. If I need to reduce draft, I put a layer of rice on top (or char if I've run out of rice.) I've found it easier to control draft by impeding it from above rather than from below.

You might try a bead of silicone on the ash door, closed over some waxed paper until set.

I appreciate it, but it's not really a matter of courage. I used to be a properly functioning member of society but my life fell apart eight years ago, so I decided to screw it all. I've since learned what's important in this life: a little place to live, wildlife in the yard, ducks on the pond, and some good friends. I'm happier than ever.coalnewbie wrote: ↑Thu.

I like how you just put rice on top to slow it down. I think I'd still want the bottom air tight but if its working, its working.

These stoves serve many purposes, yes iron pots work just as well. Who needs a finial? Lamb stew one day, potpourri the next ... I'm having so much fun with mine.
