So this ventiduct, is it corridor for room convection air to come up thru the middle of the fire bed??
Bingo ! :yes:

Scott found one of the rarest of old beasts !!!!! Not only are R&S stoves rare, this one takes the "double heater" stove design to an even hotter method to be able to duct room heat to another floor. ;)

Wow, that is neat! It adds a huge amount of surface area without using any more space.

7 more rivets to drill out and it can all go out for sand blast.

The barrel is almost all of this drum😬

It measures 24 high 20 wide.

the barrel of a WM #120 is 19 wide and 29 tall BUT, the bricks take it down to 16 wide inside and the grates and ash pit are in there too so that takes it down to just 20 tall above the grates.

that Acorn 209 is simply huge, closer to the WM 524 but MUCH neater.

it'll be neat watching you do it up Scott style :yes:

The barrel on a GW #6 is only 20 high by 16 diameter. That Acorn is half again the barrel surface area of the GW #6. :o

Scott, coming along nicely.
Your heater has a fat barrel.
The Clarions barrel is 17x30.

Thanks Gents! I’d like to put a “can and a 1/2” barrel or 36 inch, but the ventiduct would need an 12in extension. It bolts to the top casting of the stove..The catalog does reference the option of adding a barrel extension but they were not clear if it was available along with the ventiduct option. If it were, there must have been a longer ventiduct casting or a bolt on extension.

Any thoughts on running it in a basement and connecting the ventiduct to the return of a forced hot air system 🤯? I’m thinking it would certainly take some load off a furnace.

This is the perfect all around heater for a large post & beam or converted barn 🤤

The only downside is no fire view.

Maybe find a trashed Magizine the same size or close and splice it on top of your snorkel.??
Or cast iron pipe from the scrap yard.

Hi Dana, the stove is at Skips for some grate work... I’ll call him and get back to you. It’s the same as a Glenwood Oak 50 if that helps! Haha 😂

PM me a phone # and as soon as I find out I’ll call you.
