Here is my Jotul F8

The brick chimney is a copy of the old style flemish chimney which was double side and was build up till the rooftop. People used to smoke their meat inside this chimney. You could actually walk in it.

My parents have such and it was a great thing as a kid to go up to hang the hams and bacon to smoke it.

It was also a great time when having a chimney fire. You have to imagine a coned space of 9x9 feet floor surface with glowing walls.....

Anyway, we copied this design just to add some brick, which keeps radiating heat for more than 24 hours. great in start of burning season when you dont burn continue.

The F8 is now heating 2x 120m2 (2floor) with central heating switched off and outside temps of -3 celcius and keeps a 23 celcius temp at half throttle...

Very happy.

Here's my Century. It may not look very large, but it heats my small house well.

A very strong solution of Ammonia and water (about 50/50). Spray it on and wipe it off like you normally would cleaning any glass. You may want to be sure that the glass is not so hot so you don't crack it.

I use regular windex and it works fine.

Olix Air-Flo WoodStoves Official Info

This is an Olix air-flo that burns wood or coal. They are/were produced in Bath, N.Y. in the lower Fingerlakes region. Does anybody know if they are still in business. We bought this around the mid 1980's. Only thing I need is a new blower.

Thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Olix Air-Flo Woodstoves/Coalstoves were manufactured in Hornell, NY. I am a daughter of the company owner and worked in my Dad's shop as a young teenager (I hand painted the gold trim on the leaves and painted the Olix Air-Flo plaque different colors). My Dad and a couple of my brothers hand made all Olix Air-Flo stoves, I remember the fans being ordered from another company. My dad says the blower is a Fasco -4C447, you can buy them in Rochester, NY through Grainger at 430 West Metro Park across from Monroe Community College 1(585)427-8570. When they first started, the doors on the front were solid and then they added a glass front option.

Olix Air-Flo went out of business in 1990 because Uncle Sam via the EPA decided that woodstoves needed to pass rigorous environmental tests. Small businesses like my father's could not absorb the enourmous fees needed to pay for some sort of environmental impact study. My Dad just told me this morning that the amount of $ would have been over $180,000 for the 10 models to be tested!!! He says "Good Ol' EPA". He says they made a couple thousand of these stoves over the years and they delivered them all over the East Coast and some of the Mid-West. He had to sell his remaining ones at a loss to get out from under the EPA requirements.

I have several brothers who still have their Olix Air-Flo's and every year I try to bribe them to sell one to me, but they will never part with theirs. I am currently looking for one myself as they were built to last (I was a teenager when they were being made and had no interest in a woodstove at the time, lol).

Kind Regards,
S. Olix

this is my stove, i have no idea what it is. maybe someone on this site knows. it is likely fairly old because my mother had it before me and she said my grandfather had it before her. its currently just for looks because i have a surefire wood furnace down stairs.

jwfirebird: I believe that woodstove is a Franklin or a Vogelzang, but don't know of the particular model. My girlfriends nephew has one in his garage and it heats quite well.

 

[jwfirebird]

thanks, i remember when my mom had it in her kitchen it would heat most of the first floor. thats one reason why i probably wont hook it up to the chimney and use it until my youngin' gets out of the clumsy stage.

i took a closer look at it and apparently it is a Martin-King 98-1830. it seems there arent many others because google doesnt turn up much other than the company was bought out a few years ago.

there was one for sale in NY... ad expired which usually mean they didn't sell it...

Should I buy used Jotul 3CB

Restore (Habitat for Humanity resale store) has a Jotul 3CB for $650. I am new to wood stoves, have heard Jotuls are good. I live in a modular home with about 1300 square feet in the downstairs where I would want most of the heat to go.
Is this a good deal? is the size sufficient? I have an oil furnace now and could use both if this isn't big enough; or should I just bite the bullet and buy new?
thanks for your help!

Yep Jotul's are a great stove. It will heat 1300 but if that's just the downstairs you'll need too help it with some overhead fans or something too keep the heat downstairs.

Zodiac, I remember my parents having a glenwood stove, cooked in it all the time. I remember my farther used to get the top lids where you load the wood beat red and my mother screaming at him. My mouther used to keep peanuts in a tray on the far side just enough to keep them warm. I think about them days when ever i see those stoves. thank you. kevin
