Title: Not a pot bellied stove
Post by: RG8800 on October 12, 2009, 11:05:53 PM

Thought this was an appropriate place to post this neat old stove picture. A friend has it stored in the garage and wants to get rid of it. I like it but really don't need it. Its a big heavy parlour stove in apparently good working condition. A Findlay Circulator #20 made in Ontario, Canada. Anybody ever heard of the name or if they are much in demand?

That is a fine looking stove, Ralph.  I have a Warm Morning coal stove with a similar cabinet, but no circulator.  It is designed to burn coal and has a deep, fire brick lined chamber to allow enough coal per stoking to last for many hours.  I also have a small cast pot bellied coal stove designed for coal. It stands maybe four feet tall, if that.  Cute.  I guess like you, I am a collector of all objects.

P.S.  Sure is enough gas on the list at the moment, isn't there?
