Repairs and maintenance all done time to burn off the dust and cure some stove polish...

The Qualified Range Company will need some help later this week...

She is a beauty , you say the firepot is bigger than 16” , how big is it ? I’ve wondered what manufacturer made a mica baseburner with say a 18” or even a 20” firepot or if they were even made that big ? Know glen wood made there oak 40 , and 50 with large fire pots , but they were base heaters , not mica baseburner . Love to know if anyone knew any manufacturer that made mica baseburners In really large firepot sizes .

Yes, the Glenwood 40 (18 inch) and 50 (20 inch) were Oaks with large firepots, but they were Oak type stoves not base heaters. The biggest base heater that I am aware of Glenwood making is the #8 with an 18 inch fire pot.

I seem to remember we've had a few mica burners on here with large firepots.

As for oaks, it's not uncommon to find them in 18 and larger firepots. My in-laws still have the large firepot Oak (coal fired) that was in the living room when Melissa was growing up. And one of my Brother-in-law's has a Round Oak with a 24 inch firepot (wood fired), plus a top extension on the barrel making it about 7 feet tall. A heat monster that came out of a local church. Probably helped remind the congregation of the fires of damnation. ;)

Having been near it when it's running, a near as large firepot mica burner would be an incredible heat monster. :o

The "Holy Grail" to some people is the Wherle 100 series. In the 18 inch pot. That will require some pocket change. Looking at about $15,000+ for a restored one. If you can find someone willing to sell.

So it seems that most mica baseburners are in the 14/16” firepot range , unless you have deep pockets and can buy the wherle !

15k is kind-of cheap, compared to some fancy top of the line Square BB's in the 30k prices.

A few bigger ones around, but most are 10 - 16 inches. Don't underestimate the horsepower of a wimpy 10 inch pot.

Arch heater is a 166. Might squeeze 16.5 inches out the fire pot. Some makers rounded down or up on their pot measurements.

A Round Oak 24 is as hard to find as the 10.

This ones firepot is just under 17 in wide (16 7/8in)at top and 7.5in deep... I RARELY open the drafts more than 1/8 of a turn... I can fill magazine with a 5 gallon pail of nut and go 3 to 5 days without adding more depending on temp outside ... I did an experiment one fall mpd closed tight drafts closed tight and got 6 days out of a magazine.....
