Welcome IceDaddy.

That model Glenwood is a wood stove. It's not designed to use coal.

Paul

Thanks for your answer , but when we cleaned it out it had coal chunks in it so now I’m even more confused

Looks like a coal stove to me, but Paul is good with this stuff!!

That's a different stove than the very common GW 22 wood stoves that sometimes go by the name, "Wood Parlor".

Yes, that one is a coal stove, but a very rare early model. Might even be a suspended pot base heater ???? Does the firepot have a gap all around that leads down into the spaces on each side of the ash pit ?

Pix of the back of the stove and inside the firepot will help.

Paul

"A picture is worth a thousand words"........Yup, that looks like a coal burner!
Cheers

Pic 1 looks like the base plate may lift out suggesting it’s a base burner. So it may very well be a suspended pot stove.

[/img][/img]Here are pictures of the back and the inside. There is a about a 2” space between the fire pot and the walls of the stove. The top all so slides off as you can see in the pictures. I have know idea how this stove works.

Yup, that back pipe going down to the base, with a damper at the upper pipe to the stove barrel, shows it's a base heater. I'm not certain it's a suspended pot type base heater, but certainly a rare stove and a very good heater !

Tommy (Tcalo) can tell you more as he has used one similar to that.

Paul

Thank you I’m looking at next weekend to fire it up. I know you said it’s a rare stove but do you know if there is anyway to tell how old it is? I can’t find any information on it on line at all.

Your heater was made around 1890-95ish.
A good heating/good selling stoves were still being sold 40 years after the patent date.

Can't see good enough to tell if it is a suspended pot or bolted down.

Looks to be a baseburner, with the bowed ash pan floor. Heat goes under ash pan then up the stack. Baseheaters have the heat only around the outside edge of ash pan floor, then up the stack.

DO NOT FIRE THIS STOVE.
Previous owner never cleaned out the base chamber or burned wood in it. That is why ash pan floor is bowed.

Coal ONLY, no wood.

Heater needs a total teardown and resealed. A bowed ash pan floor is just the beginning of hidden troubles.

Not all that rare but uncommon is better a term.

Looks to be complete with no missing parts.

Under the swinging top is a small oven. You even have the trivet to set pots and pans on.

Wow thanks for the info. How or where would I go to have this done or is it something I could tackle my self? Where would you get parts for something so old ? Sorry for all the questions just excited this is the most information I’ve gotten on this stove thanks to you guys in this group

mntbugy hit the nail on the head. Looks to be a suspended pot base burner. It needs a complete tear down and rebuild before even thinking of striking a match!!! It’s missing the top fire pot grill (if it had one) and the ash pit floor is trashed. I attached a pic of the pot grill from my Glenwood 109. Neat little stove for sure.

Great thanks for the info and if I look to get it rebuilt about how much should I expect to pay? Also, if we decided to sell about how much would it be worth as is?
