Great story! Outstanding product, American made and supports American workers. Larry supports his product 100%. In this day and age getting a reply from the company owner is unheard of. Larry does it. No offshore voice mail or email auto reply.

I posted this to my Facebook. Very happy with the stove and the support I have received. I'm going to be ordering a new blower and maybe I can talk my wife into the ash catcher, ash ring, and fire view door.

ASea,
Not only don't I have facebook, I don't own a cell phone. I'm happy for your new acquisition, but it would be nice if you could post up some old fashion pics to the site. (for us electronically challenged type

) Good luck with your Chubby. It should do you well this coming season.

I cleaned up the Chubby and used it last season. My Wife was against it at first, but she has warmed up pun intended to the idea of the coal stove LOL! I'll see If I can get some pics posted.

Thanks for making the link. Can it be a sticky? Or the link attached to an existing sticky?

Not sure what you mean LM but the original link still resolves to the story.
