Now THIS is a stove!!

[turnkey4099]

In local building supply store this morning and I saw this thing:

That is the case for my digital camera to give some idea of scale. Features:

Wood splits are loaded vertically, room for mayby 3 splits if they are small, 2 of medium size.
Stove can be turned to face different directions. I don't know if there is a limit as to how far but the chimney output is on a 360 degree bearing.
Fire box is surrounded by those grey "stone" pieces for radiant heat.

and it is only $5,000!!

Looks like something you find in a Yuppie house.

Bet they sell lots of those! Lol .
Looks like something in the wtf pic section or one of those airplane in flight catalogs.

[brenndatomu]

Are you sure that is a stove Harry it looks more like a fire wood transporter. The drive up windows at the banks have a smaller version to move the paper work back and forth!

Looks great, and should be able to heat an area promptly. Biggest concern is the price, then again maybe it was a special for the holidays.

How do you load it, other than filling it, lighting it, and then letting it burn completely out before loading again?

how often do you have to change the muffler bearings??

When I first saw it, a clerk was right behind me. I did a double take and said "You gotta be s****ing me!" He proceded to demonstrate how it turned etc., but didn't address that problem. I was wondering the same, open that big door (1/2 the height of the firebox with a fire going? Not me. Next trip over I have to get the stove name (didn't see one) and see if they have a brochure.

I wonder if you have to buy tanks of imported, designer air to feed the cute little thing.

I really like the aesthetics of the modern Euro verticle stoves. I think they are pretty neat.

The practicality of it for heating a whole dwelling.....well...

My friend has one. He swears by it. The stone is soapstone. Also, his wife picked it out.

 

[unclemoustache]

Wow - I can't believe such a thing even exists......

I have this:

The only thing I'd trade it for is a free standing wood stove, but I can't figure where in the house to put one.

I just have to remember this the next time I want to heat a phone booth. LOL

Love to try one before making a judgement on it. Maybe it fits the bill perfectly for cooler, coastal climates and not deep freeze zones.

I can see it as a very nice patio stove. The ability to spin it 360 would work nicely there.

I would rather have it instead of a fireplace for heating a room.

Similar units can be very efficient. Some may think that burning the wood vertically is also more efficient.
Cool units, but pricing is enough to drive caution- lol
