Nice Old Tempwood stove. Most of you probably havent seen one of these but they are great stoves. Anyone that has had one, will tell you that they work wonderfully. They are very easy to control with the two top vents and produce lots of heat with very little wood. The ash only needs to be emptied once a month generally and it is all nice and fine so you know everything has been burned to a crisp. If you know anything about Tempwoods, you know they are meant to be simple with no power cords. This appears to be one of the last few they produced as it is heavier then the Tempwood II model and it has an extra layer of sheet metal & a blower attached to the back. It can be run without the blower, but I suppose it was meant to help circulate the heat better. The original label saying Tempwood III and the clearances is still attached to the back and quite clearly readable. I think they rated these around 55k btus but some people heat their entire house with them. When they are cranking, they are pretty amazing. They are easier to start as well, since taking the air from the top creates a jet engine effect with the air and your kindling will catch easily. And, it is basically air tight, so if you close the two air intakes, it will go out quick. We can deliver for $1 a mile ($100 min) or pickup here. 585 653 8675 or text or email is fine |
