I can tell you that it was a tight fit getting it out, I think my 8 had only ever burned wood judging by the 3 5 gallon buckets of ash I cleaned out, so I had no clinker scale but it still just barley fit out of the factory liner, the slightest bit of scale and it would have been a chore to get out

Good to know. Sound like if I want to burn wood in the #6, I need to take the fire bricks out, too. The bricks I made only have one season worth of use and they are stating to build up a layer of scale.

Might be more work to get it ready for wood than it's worth. :?

Paul, I have a wood grate for a #6 if you or anyone else need a recast I can send it out to Tomahawk.

Do the #6 bricks fit the 116?

Paulie,
I may take you up on that wood plate offer.

If the 116 is like my 118s, the tapers are different. The #6 has a straight-sided taper. You can't see it in that picture I posted, but he 118 has a curved-sided taper.

So, I don't think the backs of the #6 fire bricks would be well supported in a 116....????

If you feel like spending a bunch of money your welcome to take my wood plate for your 118s might get a better price doing multiple pieces

Please if there are please. Are we to run it dampers full shut with coal?
Second?
So the top to be completely sealed?

Looks like it may have had a seal of some kind?

Running a combo of coal.
But was a nut base, then chucked in some stove... Ooops, Maybe a little less than that...lol.

Should not have POKED THE BEAR.

Just did a quick run into the holes in the front, i have a little door with a butterfly slide, side to side... Just a quick in and out and it is off and running...

Our home has never been warmer...
Best $175 I ever spent.
But if you own a forest, the barrel stove or a converted oil tank is KING for large spaces.
This #116 Glenwood is kicking the chicken... All.over the backyard.

I have a Duro Oak 117 that I restored (cleaned, new steel midsection, gaskets, cement seams, painted) to use to cook down sap outside section of my barn. I plan on using Anthracite to do this but the first fire showed that the bottom of burn chamber glows red above 100 centigrade. I just saw post on concrete liner. How do you accomplish this?

Welcome Chris. If you use the search box there are many posts on working with "ramset" type refractory cement, such as Noxram brand, to line firepots. Here's one listing. Post by Sunny Boy - Fire Bricks and Linings - Making Your Own.

Ramset refractories are like working with sticky modeling clay. You place a layer of corrugated cardboard on top of the grates to make a gap between the liner and the grates so they can move. You then flatten the refractory with a rolling pin to about 3/4 inch thickness. Cut that into sections and fit those into the cleaned inner surface of the firepot and push them into sticking to the firepot. Smooth the refractory with wet fingers.

Let that all dry overnight and then build several small kindling fires to help dry and cure it before using with coal. The kindling fires will burn away the cardboard spacer leaving enough gap for the grates to move, but not so much gap that coal will get stuck in there and jam the grate.

Paul, thank you so much for the info. I haven't burned coal in 40 years with my Warm Morning and that was brick lined.

Your welcome, Joe.

That's a good sized oak stove. If like other early stove manufactures did, the model number 117 is the firepot size, with a 17 inch round firepot, after adding a about a 3/4 inch thick liner it'll still hold a lot of coal. Placing a manageable sized boiler tank on top should get plenty enough heat to keep it at a boil.
