That's makin heat with no doubt.

That's a Meridian ceramic stove. Still popular, they command a good price if in good condition, but are fragile to move.

I did notice the vertical crack in the base. Almost center.

I got my unique stove in the garage fired up today. It’s been a fun project!

I would be a bit apprehensive; too much glass.thst can break for my taste. Especially in a workshop.
Ceramic but still.

It’s not ceramic.. to each their own, I enjoy it. It’s from 1977 and had no broken glass when I got it, it’s probably ok.

It's stove.glass right?

Someone has been nicely careful with it for a 47 year old stove!

It’s tempered glass. It was well used for many years. I tore it all down, replaced the end glass and rebuilt it all. It’s been a fun project

There was one around a while ago. Is it called the fun stove or something like that? How does it burn?

Twin spin fun fire. It burns fast! Like I expected with no air control . It’s just for fun.

Throw a couple wood pellet smoke tubes in there and use it as a smoker.

Looks like a fun project! That brown and gold color kills me, when I came across an old stove like that I had to paint it another color, I felt like I should be burning it with red shag carpet under it otherwise

That cleaned up nicely. Have you tried cooking in it yet?

Looks like it would make a dandy terrarium in the summer.

It was black, I went with honey glow brown, I think it goes better with brass hardware.
Can’t really use it like a smoker, the smoke never comes in contact with food.

Not yet, the oven holds at 400 easily though, should do great!

I would love to see what you make in that oven. If you're taking requests, walnut banana bread would be a good break-in dish! 😋

That's cool. Is there any temperature regulation in the ovens other than fire size? If you can get it down to 350º, try out some bread. If it goes over 500º, put in a stone for some pizza!

Another minion stove, this one ate some ghost peppers.

Unfortunately fire size is the only way to control the temp. 350 was easy to keep though.

I cook my bread in cast iron covered pan at 405F and 465F both come out great.
The hotter temp makes crispier crust.

It's unusual in that I don't run into many in the wild.

Sitting last night with a Brother enjoying some Sazerac Rye

This old girl has been in his family since it was new.

We stayed at a AirBNB in The Netherlands that had a Bulder pipe convection stove. It was so cool.
I don't know where they are made and probably not an EPA stove. Interesting the models are named after USA states.

Follow link to one with exposed pipes:

Bulder stove "Polar 02" with glass door (up to 400m3) | Factory Sale

Bulder stove "Polar 02" (9 pipes) is a solid-fuel air heating stove, which can be used for heating both residential and industrial premises.

And one with hidden pipes:

Bulder stove “Colorado 01” with hob and glass door (up to 260m³) | Factory Sale

Looks like a Bullerjan copy. Definitely not an EPA certified stove.

Most unusual stoves

Now that winter has settled in, time for a fireside chat. The topic is: What's the most unusual stove you have seen? I'll start with the Spruce Stove. Able to burn a full trunk at a time. Dig the log rack in the back.
