Hello JO .

No clean out on the right side of the stove . There is a ash pan bottom left door. I think same as yours.

Grate shaker shaft

Extra wood door left side .

Sliding air vent left side .

Extra air vent on the back.

Damper that focuses the heat to the oven

Thanks a lot Wayne! Mine has ash pan, grate shaker and the sliding vent - all in the front, but that’s it. Yours seems a bit more high tech :smile:

Wife and I put a couple hundred miles on the dakota today with a ride up in north Alabama .

A little red truck took up with us and followed us to the house.

It seems real sweet , I think we will let it stay here.:joy:

Wayne, for as many of those Dodges that follow you home, you should open up a humane society and place them with loving woodgas families.

Looks good Jim :relaxed:

Thanks Wayne, IT is as good as I could find around here but nothing like the ones south or west. The rust is there but just has not crept past the fender flairs yet. I wasn,t really looking but stumbled on it and was cheep enough needing repairs to 4x4 ,trans , motor and tires. All but tires was low or no cost. I carried a fire tube in the shop but have not started on it yet want to get my big one done first.

Here’s a history of where the most and largest wood stoves came from. Their ornamental and patented designs had a good reason. The Henry Ford Museum has at least a hundred of them in every configuration.

This old Glenwood came with a house my folks bought in 1961. I heated with it for a while in the early 70s. The box stove side plate that says Norway I dug up at the site of and old steam mill way up in the woods.


We’ve been heating 100% wood for about 40 years. Love my Jotul F400 Castine.
