I picked this up a weeks ago and got it all hooked up yesterday just in time for cold February. And the big one is heading to Chris Cades farm.
-
Those are sweet Eddie. However I certainly get a chuckle when I here someone in Florida say COLD! I thought a "wood stove" in Florida would be like trying to sell ice to the Eskimos.
-
Two nice wood stoves, Eddie. Good score. That one for Chris will turn his cabin into an over. He'll have to keep the doors and windows open. ;D
-
I was thinking the same thing Keenan. I could probably make better use of it Eddie :) Although we've been having a fairly mild winter so far... other than one week of temps dipping to -36 ºC (That's -32.8 ºF, which felt like -50 ºF with the wind!)
February in Florida is T-shirt weather for a Canadian!
-
I new I'd get a chuckle out of all y'all Tourist :D. It does get cold here, freezing is considered cold ::). If leaves start to fall off the orange and oak trees, it is cold. If my newly planted green beans and radishes get frost bitten and my papayas fall, it is cold. ;D
We had a cold front come through Friday but I'm outside spalling rock with a t-shirt on, thinking about going hunting this afternoon, season doesn't end till Feb 19.
Pat, that's what I told Chris. We had one smaller than that on my old lease that would run you out of a 3 bedroom Shanty. But, I couldn't pass it up for $60.
-
the one for Chris looks just like Old Timbers !
It was 80 in his shop in Mi ,
I can't imagine firing that thing up in Florida!
Better prop the windows open first !

Wouldn't it have been easier and cheaper to just put on a sweatshirt ;D
-
Wow, those look to be in great shape. I'd sure like to score one down here for my shop too. Cold seems to be relative it seems.

Where is the one for my shop? :'( Those are awesome, just like Im looking for in my new bow shop. Yes Keenan, for the cold days of February in SW Utah.
-
Sure is nice to have a good Wingman ;D.

Actually it does get cold down here. It is a damp cold, and you really feel it. Except for two times I have been colder down here, than when I was hunting in Montana. I have had Friends from up state New York, come down, and one of those little nasty cold fronts come down, and they were ready to go back to NY to get warm! They said that they would laugh when the weather station showed People in Florida wearing big heavy coats with 35 and 40 degree weather, but that they won't laugh any more! In Montana it was 40 degrees one day, and I was down town, drinking a huckle berry milkshake, wearing a Pocket T shirt, and it was comfortable. Not here! It is a bone chilling damp cold. It is not often, or for very long, but when it is here it is COLD! :o Don't let them Brow Beat you Eddie, abide them, for......"They knoweth not of which they speaketh" ;) ;D I have seen those stoves, and they are some kind of nice, plus made in the good ol US of A ! I would love to have the big one in my shop in Montana, instead of that money burning big propane heater, I have suspended atop my bedroom/bath there. Eddie does find the deals, although the other deal finder on here did awesome also, with those tools!

As another Florida boy,When I joined the Army in 1986,After training in Alabama,I was stationed at Ft Carson Colorado,,At 20 deg there I wore a sweatshirt. 20 deg here,and we get it often (except this year) I wear long johns,artic parka,heavy boots. I want me one of them stoves!! ;)
-
Those are nice Eddie. It got cold down here to a few weeks back.. In the high 20's. That's cold fir us..

Really cool Eddie. I'm backing the damn right it can be cold in Florida team and would sure want one in my shop if it were detached from the house. Course it's easier to get cold when you've got a shaved head and you REFUSE to take your flip flops off unless your at work! I don't ever want to give up my flip flop factor!
-
I guess we all work in Flip Flops down here, heck, I've hunted in them ;D. Cam, I've worked in -40 with a wind chill -58. When it warmed up to 0 dg I had my shirt sleeves rolled up. I'd like to stick some of you guys on the Airboat when it's in the teen's down here and I crack ice going in :o. Nothing like 45 mph with a 350 HP fan sucking it to ya'. ;)

This is one we put in 2 years ago in my neighbor's shop. I use his every day and all my tools are in there. It's up on high so we don't have to bend over to start it up. Store the kindling below.
I'm fond of wood burning stoves. I'm going to put one in the house next year.

That looks like the one I have for Chris, made in Chattanooga, Tn. I have a bigger wood burner in the house. On romatic nights I've been known to turn the A/C on so it was cool enough to use. ::) :D
-
I built my own about 25 years ago heated with it for 22 years and took it out a few years ago I kinda lost my fondness for it I still got it just in case of hard times. Ron

I take it that was before a Daughter and Grandchildren moved back in...... ;) ::)

I kinda lost my fondness for it
I know exactly where you are coming from there. Heated a BIG house (3500+ sq ft) house for over 20 years with only wood. When I moved, I had 2 main criteria, central heat & no stairs.
-
We were just messen with y'all southern belles !
We no cold is cold no matter how you get there!!
The older ya get the less fun it is and then it gets down right pain full !
We call them little stoves brooder stoves up here cause they were used in the brooder house to keep the chickens from freezing !
I quit burning wood 20 some years ago but I am thinking about digging my brooder stove out again for my shop !
If I could just get it cleaned out enough not to burn the place down !

This one actually was made to burn coal and coke and is also a hot water heater. I need to talk to someone at the Power Plant and maybe get a couple of buckets of coal.

Here's a couple of pics of the ol girl she has kept us warm through many a cold knight.
