Moore corporation 622A
Well guys maybe you can school me alittle on this stove. It was in my Great Grandparents house it was used feom the 1910s up till 1999 when they moved off the farm and into town. Were now getting ready to tear the old homestead down and this stove is coming home with me.

Wow, it’s good to finally see another one.
I can’t tell you much about it but I do have one identical to it on the shop floor now that I eventually want to restore. For a $50 dollar bill it was just way too handsome for me to pass it up. The cast firebox is held together with bolts and square nuts and uses a fiberglass rope gasket or is meant to be cemented between the halves.
Seems like Moore’s is a very old name, we see it showing up in the antique stove section here now and then. I think what you and I have are later models toward the end of production. Mine is in very good shape, I just need the cast iron elbow at the rear that leads to the flue pipe.
I think they are a well built little heater, even if they were mass produced. Grate looks proper for nut size coal and the rocking action should shake down the ash very nicely.
I too would like to know more.

Nut coal would be my guess.

The grates in the bottom of mine seemed to be sized for nut. “Range” or pea might work as well if you keep a proper ash bed.
I have never fired the stove, it needs parts first.

Most hand fired are happy with nut, start there. And if you are the adventurous type, go playing around with stove or pea once you get a feel for the beast.
