and dropping, INSIDE my house.


Now, does anyone know how to run a coal stove? It looks like a pellet stove, but has a box of coal and shoot into the stove.

*chatters teeth*
Puhlllleeeeaaaasssseeeee helll ppp mememmme meee.

Sorry, MissT, the knowledge of how to operate a coal stove died with my great-grandmother's flapjack breakfasts.

However, I'm sure that if you ask us nicely, this community can come up with some alternative warming solutions...

 

[MissTaken]

Awww phooey.

I guess I may have to light a candle and warm my hands over it.

Now, if I had warm buns, there is potential to get through a cold night!

 

[navarre]

How many doors on the stove?
How many dampers?
Is there a stovepipe damper?
Is the coal chute sealed?

Give us some details and perhaps we can help.

I don't know how to do it myself...but I did try typing coal stove operation into google and stuff came up. If you know the manufacturer and model you might be able to search that. Wish I could be more helpful

 

[Wizard]

yep , I can't offer much either. But if you describe it we can figure it out flue open shovel coal, light coal.

Has to be something like that...

 

[MissTaken]

Errr what's a flue?

I don't want it, have to work tomorrow.

One door.

One damper

Umm there is a temp setting on the stove pipe as well.

No, coal chute slides right into the stove.

It is rather decorative, just in case you think I have the refurbished coal stove from a locomotive in the 18 hundreds!

Sorry dear : I've dealt with lots of different heating systems, but DAMN - I didn't think anyone still had those old stoves.

My best suggestion(which really doesn't help tonight) Is contact the bloody realtor in the morning - if they don't know how the blasted thing works - they will know who to call. If you are renting call the landlord right now.

Try the How To board, someone there usually knows something...

Like I always say, I am here to help












ladies out of their clothes

 

[Merelan]

Damn, had my chance to come cuddle and warm her and i missed it.

Damn, damn damn........

 

[Chicklet]

May I suggest lots of clothing and blankets, or a warm bath? I don't know anything about the stove... = (

 

[MissTaken]

Thanks, everyone.

Still fawkin cold.

The fuel company has the bucks but didn't deliver.

The electic heat won't start.

The coal stove sucks rocks...or something like that!

End rant!

 

[NemoAlia]

Okay, here's my solution:

Come and visit me! We're still in the no-jackets weather, as long as you don't stay out past midnight or wake up before 8:00 AM.

 

[Wizard]

Well that just sucks........

Hmmm that sounds divine, right now.

Revving up the leer jet!

 

[NemoAlia]

Just keep that little compass pointing southwest -- you should arrive in about, oh, an hour and a half.

This past winter my hometown was hit by a bad ice storm and 45,000 people lost electricity for 2 weeks (my parents included). They borrowed a generator from someone they know because all the hotels were booked solid. Mom tells me that the temperature in the house got down to 40F. Good thing she's a Montanan and can handle it. I guess my parents and my brother got out the sleeping bags and blankets and camped out in front of the stone fireplace in the living room and made the dogs sleep with them.


I'm curious though... how did you come by a coal stove? Doesn't seem like a common thing to have lying around.

 

[Merelan]

If you knew the area she lives in, you would understand. They live about 50 years behind the rest of us.

pretty though, and they have a new sexy lady living there, so not all bad.

Or it all could have been a plea for scooter to come and keep her warm.

I never need a reason to visit Miss T.
I am perfectly capable of deciding exactly what she wants me to think


And I resent the crack about the 50 years behind thing.....
We are on the cuting edge of technology in the neck of the woods.

BTW Does anyone know where I can buy a replacement bulb for my setreopticon???
