1850s Coal Franklin
Posted: Fri. Sep. 29, 2023 12:36 pm
I recently picked up a restored 1850s Abendroth coal franklin that I hope to hook up to the thimble within a week. As you can see theres no real draft control besides the damper once I get the stove pipe in. I have been looking for an older franklin like this for some time and the only cost was driving from Maine down to the Cape to pick it up. I'm guessing the learning curve will be a bit interesting with no real way to control the fire on the stovd besides covering the air intake. Dont worry the stove is just sitting in place for now while I redo the wall treatments in the room and will be correctly placed when everything is ready.
