Peninsular Baseburner

Thanks Paul.

Can’t wait to have it up and running.
The nickel shined up pretty good. Not perfect but it has character.

Those plated parts do look good enough to use as is. And, there's nothing wrong with having it show a bit of age. After all, not every old stove has to look showroom new !

Paul

The broken corner of your base, reminds me of my G111, when I bought it. I'm nowhere near the professional restorer like some of the pros here on this site, but I was able to repair mine with some good advice from said experts, and acquiring a used and abused panel from Wilson. I was able to cut the two apart, to make one, and used some "MuggyWeld" rod to tack it together. Because it wasn't really a structural part, figured I'ld give it a shot. It's still held up over these past few years, knock on wood. (Cast iron? )
I love your peninsular. It's gunna be a nice piece, when your done. Have fun on the resto.

Yeah it does look really similar to where mine is cracked. Yours looked almost like someone opened the door too hard or something. Your repair turned out great.

Well...welding is done and I have the stove back together. I am missing a few decorative parts, namely the front nameplate. I wanted to test burn it to make sure it works as needed before I have the nickel done.
Just started it last night. Even with 60 mph gusts the stove maintains 275° with exhaust temps of around 114° in baseburner mode. Very impressive. I didn’t have an idea of actually how big this stove was until it was sitting next to my Keystoker HFH. It literally dwarfs it.

Looks wonderful !!!!

Yeah, pictures don't give a good idea of how big they are. I remember the first time I saw a mica burner at a friend of my Parents house. I thought the thing was monstrous.

Paul

Nice setting! The old stuff sitting around it makes the stove look even nicer.

Bout time ya stopped screwin around I !!!!!!!!!!! LOL--- Lookin real good my friend, looks like the old girl will do exactly what you're wantin!!!!!!!!!!

Looks great ! Once the outside temps dip into the single digits, you can crack open the primaries and really light up the room.

Paulie

Thanks guys. Can’t wait to see how it does once the temps drop.

That stove looks like it'll hold some coal. How big is the pot in that? Will it hold 50-60 lbs?

It’s 18”. Massive. It should hold 55-60lbs easy. I have 50 in it now and it still has a bunch of room.

I’m gonna need a ladder to fill the magazine. The stove stands 6’ tall with the finial.

That's a beauty! Please keep us updated with pics.
