Yes thats a BIG stove! Unsure if they are burning ant or bit. I did some quick research and that town is quite close to the coal mines they had in Iowa, soft coal. They mined a lot of it there until eastern coal got cheaper and easier to get and in the 1990s the last of them closed.

Are Round Oaks as popular in the east as they are here? Or maybe I should have said were as popular. It just seems like half the old stoves still around here are Round Oaks. Most are so abused I wouldnt take them free.

A few here in the East. Free and still can't give them away. Glenwood's "Hickory" was Round Oak's foe here in the east.
Out your way people go ape chit for Round Oaks.

Your right Bugy, they do. Ive never seen a good restored one at a sale but have seen real junk bring a couple hundred that belong in a scrap yard.
