saw this ugly duckling on an auction site a few days ago.

Couldn't help myself, I had to see if a transformation was possible.

So after someone took a few meager dollars of mine they left me with this (see first photo).

Well, after about 10 hours of elbow grease with nothing much more than a wire brush, toothbrush,
some liquid & paste stove polish, and a bit of Windex wallah maybe it was worth the effort (see final photo's).

I placed my high intensity work light in the ash tray section and shined it up through the barrel for effect.

It sure it beats letting it go to a scrap yard ! ! !

Oh ya, that dang things heavy, can't imagine what some of those monsters weigh in at . . . . . :baby:

Good save. Only 10 hours, WOW! Looks nice. Is it usable or is it just for show?

I didn't do a complete break down of this one and replace gaskets, etc. to make it usable, just want to make it presentable.

If someone else in the future wants to completely restore it for use then at least I've saved them some effort.

Most zoning regulations in these parts make it dang difficult to even use these any more . . .

I have this unit freestanding in our living room (first photo)
Phillips & Clark Stove Co. Andes Stoves & Ranges - model Seneca Oak 114
this I completely tore apart and restored, and re-polished.
The orange glow in this unit is a fake fire lamp.

and in my garage / playroom I have the unit in the next photo,
an Alert 415 from Brownback Stove Co. Pottstown, Pa., also torn completely apart and re-polished;
and, which sits on a concrete floor and against a poured 8" concrete wall, under a 10' ceiling -
I like fire burning units, just not fires ! ! !

You may want to have a talk with a few folks here about your laws. It may not be as hard as you think- wont be. Its more your insurance company and you can always switch them if they dont know the laws.
