I recently came across a Moores Airtight Stove 403b. I know absolutely nothing about stoves but am in the market for this type of stove for a workshop I'll be building in the near future.

I'm hoping to post pictures and get feedback on if this is in good shape or not. When asked if it was restored they said "the inside brackets were replaced."

I'm also looking for info on how to use this type of stove for dummies. Can it be used with coal or wood? Who would I be looking for to have it inspected before use? What price range would you put this in?

Thanks so much! Super newbie!

It looks like the grate has damage as in little pieces missing. Pretty stove though. Thats about all the help I am.

It looks like the fork is in to far. I thought that style had a stop so you couldn't go too far in.

The screw/bolt stop fell out of the fork handle. That is all.

Some parts of the grate are burnt away. Pot looks good.

Sure looks like the sale ad for $1500. WAY to much.
There is others not to far away, in nice shape for $300. Might take less, been for sale awhile.
