Anytime, stove is on a pallet ready to go. I think it should be functional, cast grates in the fire box move and it was working when taken from the old farmhouse many years ago and put inside. I think it's worth more that a hundred though, only thing I can see that's missing is the tool to lift the cooking plates out. New cookstove like this is 5K!!!
You should time it when AB comes for my lawnmower, we could have a Combine Forum get together!

Man, AB you would be in tears if you saw all the stuff I dumped out this year, LOL. I went through my buildings and took front end loader loads to the bush, Kept all the old antique stuff though. If it could burn i burnt it. Found a lot of brand new parts for my WD9, and I kept all the old owners manuals, all hand-drawn illustrations. Some stuff, the neighbor was telling me what it was for, found the wrench for taking off wood buggy wheels Lol. My dad saved every spark plug he ever used in many boxes along with his all his broken dentures. After the clean up I have two completely empty buildings now.

Well took a stab at the other building today, this one was like an archeological dig with many layers!

Found another stove for you Kevlar, too bad we don't have access to coal anymore. I wonder if grain pellets would work in this thing? Thought this one was pretty cool. Thermostat that comes apart and can easily service the guts if needed. Not sure what it's off of though. Sorry for the sideways picture but there is an old blacksmith table too. Some pickers came for the third time and left with a half ton loaded right up, they seemed happy and made some cash. Near the bottom of it all was some newspaper and we opened it up and it was the marriage certificate for my Grandma's sister and her first husband. Really nice condition had the order of service and the vows and everything, from 1948. Dad tells me he died working in his garage in Winnipeg when a plane crashed into it and killed him. Talk about bad luck!

Wood pellets should work in the booker. I would happily take it if you were not so far. I use one to heat the chicken coop.

Wow man, that's a lot of stuff crammed in there!!!!! That's what our main shop looks like right now, everything for the last couple of weeks has just been shoved inside to be dealt with later when we have time!!!!! It's amazing the amount of stuff a farm accumulates over the years. I find for the most part the older generations seemed to hoard the most, likely because they came from a time that generally was a lot tougher and they couldn't just go out and buy a new whatever it was they needed. If you had the time, you could likely get a good price for most of that stuff, the bad part would be it would take years to get it all out.
So would that thermostat just be like an inline deal? Actually be a good idea.

The thermostat is inline and a lot of precision in it for sure.
The booker stove is in pretty good shape. I heard a company advertising oat hull pellets on the radio last week, maybe that would work?
Two guys in there for a full day and it's almost empty, we sold the truckload and have a bunch of stuff to donate to the pioneer club and probably keep a bit of it too.
