    I have a Morso stove - it heats the upper 1800 sq ft of my house like a champ. We burn about 7 cords per season (maybe 8-9 this year - it's been around 0* for the last 3 weeks) and it does a fantastic job...

    I was looking at another thread yesterday, and noticed something in this pic that triggered a memory from long ago.



    Those rectangular vents above and below on either side of the fireplace are part of what's called a Heatilator. I've only seen one before, in a small country cabin that was built in the early 60's. Basically one room downstairs, with a loft. I recall the fireplace/heatilator setup keeping everything pretty toasty.
    The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

    (not sure if this is fireplace or wood stove thread but looks we are talking wood stoves now)

    Also have a morso - squirrel. Tiniest best stove I could find for my tiny cabin.

    I hope to build a bigger place someday and I want a blaze king so bad. Set it and forget it. All fire lodgepole pine for me.

    My house was built in 1947 and has the same setup. I'll get a pic in the daylight tomorrow.

    And here I thought it was the mantel inscription that triggered you.

    The Fireplace

    Walling over a fireplace is grounds for expulsion.

    Nope, but I guess you could say it's what brought me to this interesting little story.
