So basically I’m familiar with the oak style parlor stoves and fairly used to the operation. Iv been searching for another project and found a franklin type of stove that looks to be in pretty good condition. Is this type of stove fairly efficient? Does it operate the same way as a base burner does? Heat output? He asking 350 for it which I think is fair. One thing I know is it would be realllllly pretty.

Pretty, yes. But, not seeing any provision for under fire air damper, I suspect it's a wood only stove.

Looks like it would be a very nice looking wood stove, when cleaned up. Not sure if it'll burn coal tho. I think Franklin is a good quality brand. For that little cash, I don't see how you could lose, unless the inside is all busted up.
(and Paul beats me... by a nose.) :)

So I got more pics today and it looks like it is set up for coal. Still not too sure about the air input but there has to be a way to adjust incoming primary. I think I might have to go and take a look at this one.

Looks like its last fire was coal to me.

Also, it has the number 15 on it so I’m assuming it has a 15 inch firepot which would be a pretty good size to have. It also appears to have an ash pan which I really like.

I hope wsherric can chime in with his vast array of knowledge. This looks like it could be a nice stove as long as there is good usability (IE a way to control incoming air). I realllly like the tiles.

It looks like the primary air is adjusted by sliding the bottom plate with the foot rest in and out. Remove to get access to ash pan. The little trivet might be to set it on.

Pretty stove, but to much trouble operating and controlling.

Oh yeah, those are some good pics of the inside. Definitely coal, but doesn't appear to be a base burner. But with a pot that size, looks like it would supply a fair amount of heat, for a parlor. Still, I like the looks, and hope you get it to clean up. I'ld like to see it with a fire in its belly.
