Any round oak guys out there?
Just saved this e18 with the coal basket.
It’s for sale for rebuild or parts if there is any interest

Nice find, Dana,

18 inch firepot - that'll throw a lot of heat with either wood or coal ! Don't see many here in the NE, but Round Oaks are popular in the Midwest and they are good quality stoves.

One of my B-I-Laws heats his entire large, one story house with a Round Oak "can and a half" E24 that came out of a local church. You can't stand next to it for long. :o The house has lots of huge windows and it's still comfy warm in western Mass winters.

Hi Paul

Does B-I-L use coal or wood?

He grew up in a "two coal stove family", but he's a carpenter/contractor. He prefers to use wood that he cuts from his many acres of land surrounding his house.

As you've seen by now, that Round Oak firepot will hold a lot more than your GW #6.
