Peninsular Baseburner
Went to look at a Peninsular baseburner tonight. Stove is complete and even has all the original accessories. Doors all close tight and pass the dollar bill test.
The only issue is the corner of the base is cracked. Doesn’t look like a heat crack. Looks almost like it was dropped in storage. See pics. Is this crack repairable? The pieces that are cracked off are also there.

It can certainly be welded as long as you have all the bits, that whole pieces needs to come off the stove to do it right.

When lightly loaded, trailers tend to bounce quite a bit.
Remove every part you can, so they don't come loose in transit. Wrap, or box them up so that can't get banged around. Store the boxes so they don't move, either.
Only lay the stove body down if you have a lot of padding to lay it on. Otherwise standing it up on it's flat base, not the leg base, and have it well restrained, is easier on it.
If it's a flat trailer, strap, or tie it down good, in ALL four directions, not just two or three. If the trailer has a sturdy front wall stand it up padded against that wall, and strap/tie it well. No cargo ever shifted from having too many restraints.

There will most likely be cracks revealed after sandblasting anyway, so find a good cast iron welder like Skip at “Wilson’s Woodstoves”

Some cracks are a good bargining chip on price, other cracks get costly if you have someone else do the repair.
If you don't want to blast your heater.
Get a bunch of different size wire wheels and wire brushes, for the hard to reach areas.
Evapo- rust or WD-40 rust away works good but expensive.
Lye bath works good and a vinegar soak for rust also works good.

Well I now own a Monarch Peninsular baseburner. It’s sitting in my truck to go get welded tomorrow. This thing weighs a ton. Even with the pot (18” btw) removed it’s probably close to 225lbs. Pic of base pan attached. It has less rust than the bottom of my Keystoker HFH.
Can someone explain how the ducts work on the baseburners? Does that pan need to be sealed with cement when the welding is done?

Congrats on getting it, IL.
The grates look like it hasn't had a hard life. And a pot that that big, it's going to be a heat monster !!!
Looking forward to see it all fixed up and running.
