Second season with the F500

 

[DuaeGuttae]

This is our first season in a new home with a freestanding stove. We wanted it fairly central in an open area, so it's a the corner of our kitchen, living, and dining areas. To the left is the "wood box" as well as an older copper firewood bin that has long been in my husband's family. We use it to store gloves and the hearth brush and shovels. We have soapstone bedwarmers on the hearth as well as a soapstone ash tray for our poker and ash rake.

We also have an old copper bin that we use for storing kindling. Originally, these were laundry boilers where the wash was done. They often sat on special small stoves designed for heating the wash water. These small stoves were often put in a laundry room or outside shed.

interesting, always wondered why those stoves looked like that.

The stoves were purpose built and light enough to move outside in warmer weather.

The Lopi is showing a fiery face, the way the splits ends are seen through the flames.
Cool cook stove.

Thanks for that information, Begreen. That's really interesting, and my husband was intrigued as well. He doesn't know where his parents got the bin [they actually had two; his sister has the other one now], whether they were in his mom's family or not. Hid dad used one to store firewood by the fireplace. He used the other one to store electrical wire in his workshop, I think.

I've never seen a little laundry stove like the one you pictured above. Would the idea be that you would remove the top plates with a hook and set the pot in the opening above the coals? My mom's old Lange has something like that for cooking, I believe, though she just cooks on top of the stove without removing the plate.

I've never run one of these little stoves, nevermind warming up the wash water, but this piqued my curiousity. I just checked our copper boiler and indeed, there are a pair of faint, 8-10", circular, scorch marks on the bottom at about the right distance apart to match the stove burners. There's history in these old tubs. I wonder how may britches and bodices ours saw in its lifetime.

That's a lot of heat. Nice old Globe stove, but please get the PB Blaster can off of the stove!

I always wondered why they called it "blaster", I can see it now.

You mean not everyone starts their fire with PB Blaster?

I use starting fluid, I thought that's what it was meant for, starting fires?!? Gets the fire started real quick! 😉

 

[Highbeam]

Maybe because it’s sitting on a 20” tall box? 🤷‍♂️

Is the box wooden?

 

[Highbeam]

I’m in the barn reading hearth.com so this is the barn stove. An Englander nc30 from 2013. I gave it a rust oleum high heat paint job and let me tell you, rustoleum high heat paint is not capable of normal stove temps. Also the new 9 week old pug pup named Bing. My oldest one died a couple months ago

I figured I would catch some "heat" for that one. 😂 It's the only picture I have of that stove at the moment.
