Is there such a thing ? I guess what I really mean is, is there a less desirable model looks wise that still heats well? I'm thinking discount heat.

The only pretty ones I like is the Saint Nickolas and the Sterling. They have scroll work all over, not just here and there.
The Sterling even has a bi-metalic spring at the top trim ring.
I have a Clarion 115 it's kind a plain looking.

Maybe ugly was the wrong word. Plain. Ahhh, how about the Kia of stoves? Something that works well, but would not be a Chevy or fancy as a Porsche. Just plain or serviceable but a step above a Yugo.

LOL. Yeah, but you know how to fix/repair from a pile of parts that someone stuffed in a box. I could do that with some things, but I've only seen these stoves in pictures.

If you don't mind looks, PM member Steve - screen name "Kingcoal". He might be willing to sell his Frankenstove base heater ?

Even if Steve had the wherewithal to let 1 of his babies go, Indiana to dead center of NYS is a driving distance best left to younger men.
