[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3938385, member: 15054"] These look like just free standing wood burning stoves with NO blower. I seen you mentioned cleaning the flue. I had an old Ben Franklin. Picture of the exact stove in this link it is the second pic the one with brass balls on top. [URL="https://www.mychimney.com/uncategorized/ben-franklin-father-fireplace-insert/"]The Franklin Stove and history of Modern Wood Fireplace Inserts[/URL] Those were dandy hand warmers and you could put a very long piece of wood into it. I burned everything in it including clothing and partial board. Only thing that was not burned in it was tires and railroad ties. My chimney was spotless when I removed it after a few years of burning everything to heat the house. I used Metalbestos stainless pipe and it was shiny inside when I removed it. Hot fires burn clean. If you are planning on heating a home through the winter with this just know hardwoods will make a pile of ashes and you will be scooping out hot ashes on some days to keep up. Some people go pellet but I know nothing about those. [/QUOTE]
