How old is your wood stove?

[Mad Professor]

I made this up about 20 years ago from some ash I milled. Mortise and tenon joinery.

Splits go on top. Holds a weeks worth of wood. Nice to have plenty of wood handy when it's - oF outside.



And some woodstove cooking, boiled carrots and potatoes, venison backstraps with garlic peppers and onions

Don't know manufacturer, was installed when we bought the house back in the 80's.

That is a Quaker fireplace insert. I used to sell them in the 1980's

i have a 1978 or 79 old mill top exit, which is a clone of the gpa fisher. i know i need to get around to replacing it, with something that burns hotter and uses less firewood. my grand mother had it originally. it sat maybe 10 years unused. i put it in my house in 2001 . i probably should pull it out and rebuild the brick and paint it and put it in a shed or something or someone else home. it still is solid.

Why do some wood stoves have firebrick while many don't? Our Resolute doesn't.

Mine's about a 12 year old Century insert made in Canada. I like it. The brick work around it and behind it is massive and once the brick gets heated up it puts off the heat on both sides into the house. I get 82˚ heat off the brickwork that's about 3' thick behind it in another room.
