Restoring and using antique iron stoves in my home
This is the Glenwood F when I first got it home. I also have a Daisy by Wood & Bishop; a potbelly with no name; and a Cayuta Andes 418.
The Glenwood works fine except the firebox needs to be lined all over again. The Daisy needs a straight line of pipe for the fireplace chimney. The Cayuta needs a narrower oval pipe because the fireplace for that chimney is a Rumford.
Restoring and using antique iron stoves in my home
This is the Daisy. It's in the "parlor."
I am fortunate to live in a very old house that still has fireplaces in every room and the one in the kitchen, which is double sided with a laundry pot on the pantry side of the wall.
All the fireplaces are different. The Daisy's is a straight up the chimney fireplace, but the chimney needs work and therefore the stove needs a liner type pipe. I want to do this myself because the cost of having someone else do it is impossible for my small budget.
I am still restoring the Cayuta, and then I will need a narrower oval pipe to get it up the chimney in the dining room because the fireplace is a Rumford.
