Last year I got two antique stoves for my house, and I am truly amazed by their performance. I can get the house warmer than wanted, even when outside temperatures are below zero. They are cleaner than modern stoves, and look better to me. They only need to be filled 3 times a day, and they have huge ash pans that only need to be emptied a couple times a week. They are both 18" diameter cylinders, but can take a 24" log easily when stood up vertically.
They are not as efficient as a modern stove, but they generate much less soot on the chimney flue.
So here are a couple pictures of the Round Oak 18-O-2. I purchased this stove from Madison Stove Works, and couldn't be happier. The stove was about the same price as a Jotul Firelight or a Vermont Castings Defiant. It was originally built in the 1920's, and by it's construction I expect it to last a long time.
