Value of a Dickson Oak 117 Coal Stove
We have a Dickson Oak 117 coal stove in excellent and working condition. I am trying to understand the value as we have someone who wishes to buy it but I have no idea what a fair price would be.
Thank you!
Thank you!

If you post some pictures you'll get a better evaluation. Be sure to include pictures of the grates etc. It's a little slow this time of the year so be patient.

I agree with Sunny Boy, with a 17" pot I would be looking to get $500 in that condition.

Does anyone know what the vent on the top is used for? Also is the pipe in the middle used as a coal hopper or just for loading?

You can connect a pipe on that top vent to direct some of the heat to a register on the floor above the stove.
That is known as a double heater option.
The tube is called a coal magazine . Once your fire is established you fill the magazine from the top. It preheats the coal and gives you a longer burn time between shake downs.

Thanks Paulie. I thought the pipe may be used for that but I was sure if it was just for loading wood. We got about 6-7 hours last time with a full bed of coal and the damper open. That will come in handy. I only get to tinker with it about once or twice a year so its a learning curve every time.
