Forgive my ignorance but is that a boiler? Looks like a nice big rig - post up more pics if you can please!Donb wrote: ↑Mon. Dec. 17, 2018 7:42 pmHere’s a pic for you....
My 50-something Chappee’s been hot for less than 10 hours now. Here’s what ‘she’ looks like right now.
Wife Susan walked in the door at 5:00pm and right away noticed the whole house was warm! A warm 75f beats a cold 65f all to hell!
We are shedding ‘winter indoor’ clothing and very much enjoying the short sleeve weather in here.
(Oh?....it’s 30 and snowing outside? Sorry, didn’t notice)

Fire pics request!

Yes, a hot water boiler...not steam. The photo shows it stripped naked, no shrouding or insulation. I have it but I like the way it looks without.
It was built by Chappee in France about 1960 near as I can tell. It’s a brand new ‘to me’ furnace and I’m getting used to it. Had to sleep with a bedroom window open last night even though temps were low teens and windy. Woke up to a 70f house. And best of all....didn’t use a whiff of propain.
Rather than impose on this thread, hows about I just start a new one? Pics and all. I’ll get to it tonight if interested.

My Lord! Y'all are killing me with those beautiful stoves.
I think y'all (Paulie and jubileejerry..Glenwood and Stewart owners) just made up my mind for me...I'm still going to try and grab a few WM's stoves I've always wanted at some point...and I'd still like to find an Elm wood stove to rebuild...but those super nice looking antiques have just sealed the deal. I can't take it anymore. LOL! Life is too short to live with an ugly box stove.

That Glenwood is FLAWLESS! Beauty. Where did you obtain it from?
Nice photo!
