Just got this. Needs a fair bit of TLC and so I'm looking for any advice about getting it functioning/ cleaned up. It's a Guelph Stove Company Strand model coal burner. I want to burn wood as I have a ready supply. The firebox is rough...really just needs fire brick work but this is all new to me. Also, any ideas of possible age? I'm thinking 30' s or 40' s. Putting this little fella in a small cabin. Any help is greatly appreciated.
