Hinckley's Original Airtight Shaker Stove

[BIGChrisNH]

Merry Christmas Eve everyone. I have not seen anything about this stove so thought I would share in the name of expanding the stove database aspect of this site. This stove belongs to a friend of mine's father. I had never heard of one before. Shaker design with 3 legs so it will balance on any floor with no wobble.

That's cool! This stove came up a long time ago.

Thread 'Hinckley Shaker Stove'

Oct 8, 2007

This is my first post, as I am not a wood burner currently unless you count 7 working fireplaces in my 1740's house. I do have a quite obscure question and I was hoping someone might be able to help me out.
I am particularly interested in antique stoves, as well as those made during the woodburning revitalization in the US starting in the 1970's One stove I have seen pictured and described in a few late 1970's publications was a beautiful interpretation of the classic Shaker style box stove made by Hinckley Foundry & Marine in New Hampshire.
While a few books have this stove...

When I think of Hinckley, I think of the yacht manufacturer. IIRC, they made boat stoves for awhile too.

Wittus currently makes a Shaker style stove too

The Shaker stove is both classic simplicity and a modern beauty united in harmony. It reflects the coziness of a fireplace.
