        It's a Morso woodstove.  Ain't it cute?

             Potter

Das purdy.

I don't think I've ever seen one like that.....how old is it?

That is a beauty, Potter!

It reminds me of some of the wood burning stoves that I saw over in Norway.

The unique arc over the firebox is designed to extract more heat out of the escaping smoke.  The same concept was used up in New England in the old one room school houses and many of the old churches.  They would have the wood burning stove, in the rear of the main room, and the actual chimney was in the front of the room.  They would run the smoke stack from the wood stove, all across the room, to the chimney, so that any heat at all, that was in the smoke, would be dissipated out into the room.  Very smart, and efficient, in my mind!

Enjoy that beauty!

Beats me,  they were produced from 1935/1985.  325 bucks is what I gave for it.

Looks like a great gatherin' spot for the spit & whittle club.

Yep.....she's a beauty!

I love old stuff like that.  Cute little squirel on the front.

I like it. 8-) Did not notice the squirrel until Beth pointed it out, I can feel the heat from it now. :)

Oh...I love it!!!!!!    Tis a beautiful thing to behold.  Unless it is rusted and not workable, you got a great deal.

I have this soft spot in my heart for wood stoves.  For 13 yrs. it was the only heat I had in a 2-story house.  That beautiful black-iron baby was my life-line to not being frozen.

Every year I looked for the best deal on cords of Oak and manzanita and when I had it in my wood-pile I knew I was safe from the ravages of winter.

I even had a sign I made above the wood-pile from a poet that said...

"Every man looks at his wood-pile with a sort of affection"  

Good on you Potter for buying that.   Very unusual... with CHARACTER, just like you.  ;)

Linda likes it so much she posted twice  ;D!  It's purdy.  Don't ahve much use for one down here, it'd probably run me out of my living room.  We have a fireplace with an insert and I can't tell you the last time we used it.

I know.  Ever since I was made a moderator, this happens to me a lot.  Some glitch in my computer, or hiccup or something.   :-/

Very cool Potter.

   I built this room for my daughter and her husband so they could stay in college.  It's my man cave in two more years.  This is where the stove goes.

My Magic Chef is more so a food burning stove only,




She's a jewel of a fire-tender.  Cute, built, hot.

My man cave! Love it! 8-)

So you are actually going to use it as the maker intended and don't plan on sending it to me to mosaic?

Damn. :-?

Well, how f'n cool is that?

I wanna smoke a cigar in your man cave with you someday.

That'll keep ya warm this coming winter.  Nice lines.

-Dennis-

Very nice ! Can you actually cook with it or just use it as a heater ?

There is a nice spot there in the arch where you can set a pan of water to humidify the room too.  I see the circles where it's been done in the past.

Pretty and very functional.

   Of course you cook on them,  Soups and stew kinda stuff.

     Potter

Thanks Potter, how very cool !

I have never seen anything like that before so thanks for sharing.  :)

ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Pat, you'd mosaic the front door while Bill was at work and when he got home he couldn't lift the door open.   I would LOVE to see what you would do to Potters wood stove....omg...that is funny.

Now that's a good-looking unit.   :)

Best,

George

Forget the front door.  I warned both of them not to sit still for too long or I'll mosaic them!  Nothing is safe around here (although I have been sticking to windows and panels lately).

It's cute but it won't help your ch's.

Get 02!

Sorry, just pulling your chain. ;)

It's quite a neat thing!

It'd be more complete with a nice slightly chipped gray porcelain coffee pot.... ala "Gunsmoke" sitting on it though.  8-)

Charlie

That is cool, I need that on my closed in porch.
