This is a second chapter in relation to a thread started a few days ago about a Regency stove, an F2000M/F2100M that I found via Kijiji.
This evening my 15 year old son and I loaded up tools, the shop vac, a tarp and a rubbermaid container and drove 2 hours to the city to pick up the Regency. From when we arrived at the seller's home until the stove was "debricked", vacuumed out and wedged into our trailblazer was just under half an hour.
After an obligatory Tim Horton's stop for a late supper on the run we screamed home and total elapsed time from departing home to back in the house was 5 hours and 20 minutes.
Add the 60$ in fuel to the $100 purchase price on a stove and our cash total so far is $160.
We will need the main firebricks, the baffle bricks, paint, and possibly the three burn tubes yet and a fair bit of elbow grease but given what this stove would be to replace new I can work with this sucker.
It was especiall fun to be handed the original sales brochure and the Instruction manual by the owners.
I know, I know.... Pictures or it didn't happen.... I will keep everyone updated as we put this stove back into all its heat throwing glory.
