Ours gives off a warmth in a 5' radius. My back patio is not covered and I think that would trap more heat. We have used it during the summer on cooler evenings 50 degrees or so, and it was comfortable. Since we're in Ohio (the snowbelt) we don't use our patio in the winter.

@ Thanks for the info.. sounds like it’ll be great for a shed in Alabama

We are in Ohio and only leave it out in the summer months. You will have some surface rust each year, but it's a pretty quick sanding and polishing job. When it's not in use, we put a modified grill cover with bungee cords around it. We just bought a large grill cover, cut it so we could wrap it around the burner.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. It's so great bringing these old stoves back to life.

My thoughts exactly. You guys did a great job.

I'm sorry, I don't. I've looked and I believe Sears used to sell these stoves. Possibly a current wood burner supply store could sell parts to use.

It gives off heat, but since it's outside. the heat goes up. if you have it in a more contained area, it would give off more heat.

Hi Paul. We installed two-2' long pipes that are 8" diameter. The cap is a spark arrestor . Cap was purchased from a company called Wolff Brothers. Good luck with your stove!

lol, I'm glad your re-thinking it and you should take your neighbor up on it. We have a fire pit too, but this is really nice when you want to just sit out and relax on your patio.

You're welcome. So glad you're going to do it.

I haven't had any issue with that. I think as long as you have it appropriately vented, it should be fine. we get some big fires going in it, no smoke issue.

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad you are going to restore your wood burner. I hope you have many enjoyable days relaxing by it.

@@saltfreewater Thanks so much for your reply. I have a question: did your stove start to rust again after being outdoors? I see a neighbor who is using one outside and it appears to be quite rusted (perhaps unavoidable if it stays outside?) 'Look forward to hearing from you when you are able. XOXO

@@brendapaul7560 Hi Brenda. I keep mine covered when not in use. The best way I could come up with is to use a grill cover and cut it along the backside so I could drape it over. I use bungie cords to strap around it. I did do touch up re-sanding for some rust spots in some areas at the start of 2021 season. It took about an hour to sand rusted areas. I then re-polished. It was no where like the original sanding. I think if you keep it covered it makes the difference. Mine sits completely outdoors so its open to all the elements. Hope this helps.

@@saltfreewater Yes!! Thank you SO much for filling me in. It's going to be a big project but I am SO glad that I saw your video. I was thinking of getting rid of my woodstove earlier. I am very grateful that I can actually use it again and outdoors! All the best to you. You have been SO helpful!! Thanks again........ Brenda xoxoox

@@brendapaul7560 you're welcome! I'm so glad I could help you. I'm certain you'll do a great job. Good luck !

I use a grill cover. I cut it around the back side so I can drape it around the unit. I then put a couple bungie cords in place.

When we aren't using it, I put a grill cover over it. I just cut one along the backside so I could wrap it around. Then I bungee cord it. After a season, I do have a few areas to surface sand, but it wasn't bad. I plan to do another coat of stove polish as well.

I love hearing that! I'm sure you'll enjoy it in your she-shed....I need one of those 🙂

A so so icy day. A great day is when it's bottomless.

Thank you. It really adds a lot to a patio. I hope you do it :)

I guess it was closed :(. They didn't have enough snow.

It's worked out well outside. I only used hi temp paint on the handles since those weren't cast iron. The rest of the stove was done using stove polish. I've done two touch ups on it since doing the polish, but it has worked well.

It is heavy and I'm not sure of the exact weight. We took the back leg of the stove off so we could place it on a hand dolly level. It was strapped on the dolly and moved to the back patio. We placed the backside on a brick to elevate it and reattach the back leg. We live in the north so we just moved it back to the garage for winter. It's a two person job, one person to steady, the other to push.

It was the go pro chest mount harness. Have fun, it's a great course.
