What you have there is a so-called 'parlor stove'. Many houses a couple of generations ago had several chimneys, and a stove like this would be fired up in the room you visited in or to help provide some extra heat on really frosty winter days.
I WISH I could find one like that! My old house has a fireplace in it, and I'd love to have one for emergency purposes!
You are right. Small stoves for small cabins are impossible to find. You would have to wait for it to cool to load from the top to take the layers of the lid off. That may be a pain, however being warm is worth a pain, any day of the week. So congrats on your find. Might look into buring coal if they have it in your area for sale. be sure you put a heat shield on walls and floor or there goes your cabin up in smoke. GL
i have the idea that the top its not to load because you can burn your hands on that, you load wood from the top front opening, you have to prepare your wood before and cut it.
ofcourse you can always load the wood by the top but its unecessary i think
@qxDCxp The top has a handle so you can use something like tongs to open it up, but you're right that wood should really be cut down to size and loaded through the front opening. Cheers.
It was originally designed as a parlor heater and it used anthracite or hard coal as it's fuel source. As someone else posted make sure you have adequate clearance around the stove to combustibles and don't overfire it or it will crack.
it's dutch it is made for coal and or wood you need to build a brand haard it's a concrete, tile,or brick surround and bottom of it to prevent your house from borning down but check with your local fire marshal and or fire codes
@SufferInJuly Thanks for the comment. You're right, the stove is small and is meant to heat one room only. Thankfully the cabin is pretty much 'one' room so we're good to go. Cheers.
@cleverjoe : It's a nifty little stove, but you appear to have no insulation as you have no interior walls. In sub-freezing weather the stove'll take the chill off but I doubt that you'll be able to reach 72 degrees.
I dont know anything about your stove but I wanted to chime in and congratulate you on your find. NICE little stove you got there! I hope its working out for you!
I so like your stove! And it appears you have a collector's item, considering the info from the Dutch fellow :-).
I wonder if you could use charcoal - or is it likely to be too smoky? Perhaps easier to find - and less costly ? - than anthracite, but more efficient than wood.
@chuckbyf1 Ha! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Just a tip, but you better check the label of anything you might buy at Costco because it was probably made in China. Just sayin'. Cheers
@chuckbyf1 ...well, start-up an iron forge and make some of equal/or better design and product-quality...that's the only way "Made In America" tags can once-again be found adhered to products in-use around this country...
We used to have lots of those stoves in Holland or the Netherlands. It is actualy NOT a wood stove but a coal stove. But still this is a nice one...... looks in good shape.
@cleverjoe Nowaday's people use them as a showpiece, but stil so now and then like to use them, to make a pot of thee....... yes they have to use than wood in stead of coal. I don't think we can buy coal enymore in Holland.
For serieus heating is not adviseble, they are hard to regulate, beside that you have to feed it every 10 minutes.
But hey, that is my 2 cents, for you meby an exelent solution.
@cleverjoe I'm no expert but I suspect it is a dual fuel coal/wood burner by seeing the adj air intake at the top - top air is for wood and not for burning coal. When burning coal you utilize bottom vents typically under the shaker grate. Most wood stoves will not burn coal however most coal stoves will burn wood albeit with less efficiency. My only comment would be try coal even if you have to lug it to the site - you'll find it a huge difference in heating that with wood in that stove.
@cleverjoe from your profile I gather you are from Canada - not sure on availability but typically Nursery/Landscape and/or Home Heating Oil places may have coal (as some do in Massachusetts). There are two types of coal - the one used in stoves is called Anthracite. The type used in pillowing black smoke from Steam Locomotives is called Bituminous. You will not see visible smoke with the former.

My only comment would be try coal even if you have to lug it to the site - you may be pleasantly surprise over burning wood.
@cleverjoe Going by the top air intake it was likley designed to burn both wood and coal. Top intake is for burning wood only and bottom vents found under the shaker grate is for coal. I'd recommend you try burning coal even if you have to lug it to your site - you may find it much much easier than wood. Def a good find though. If you do try coal watch a YT vid of coal tending to get an idea of 'how to'.
In your tags you mention dutch, however you don't know what language it is on the stove. So I would like to confirm it is dutch. zacht means soft. matig means moderate and heet means hot. (Pronounciation is different than yours btw) As for the stove, it looks mighty fine. Was there any fix needed to get it going? I have a similar stove myself, different brand and I am considering to use it in a small cabin as well. Have a fun day and thanks for sharing this awesome stove!
@Pusbult Cool, thanks for the clarification Pusbult. It will be installed soon into the new, slightly bigger cabin so hopefully it will still throw enough heat. The stove was actively being used when I found it so I don't expect any air leak issues. Enjoy your cabin!
Its a rocket stove! very effecient because it burns the gasses of the wood in that hot burn chamber, you can load it all the time through the bottom hole..... great find!
cool little stove, and there is nothin wrong with burning wood in a coal burning stove stove, the pull at pan by the way is the ash pan for the coal ash to drop into, what you tend to find is coal burns from the top down wood from the bottom up, I have a multi fuel stove so when burning wood a small steel plate get put on the grate but it works just as well without it. not enough room here to explain why a plate gets put on the grate for wood, hope it keeps you warm
@cavealaska1 thanks for the info, hope to have it installed in the next couple of weeks. Interesting that a plate is used over top of the grate when burning wood, is this because of a draft that would be created through the open grate? Cheers
@cleverjoe you are right about the draft, also what you tend to find is with the plate there you get a better burn as it hold the hot embers close to the unburnt wood, and helps it give a better burn, if its not there the embers drop off into the ash pan, it will still work without the plate there, its just you will get a much better fire if you have it, if you do put one in don't completely cover up the grate you will need a little draft. good luck in fitting it
Hey man I like 80's music. Great stove looks much better than the Franklin stoves. That tiny place should heat well using vacuum tubes? I aledgely bought some they are in transit I never believe I bought something online until it arrives. You know believe it when I see it?
@cleverjoe Got the tubes they work too, Boil water in 2 hours with just the tube in the sun if you use a collector you can boil the water 24 oz in 15-30 min. I have yet to build a collector I watched GREENPOWERSCIENCE heat his in that amount of time.
Trust me, you won't need much wood to heat your space. Your stove will heat it just fine. Don't open the top when burning, like someone else mentioned, it will pour out smoke and even flames if you do. Most important, make sure the wall where the vent to the outside is, is well protected around the vent. Also consider a metal floor protector, and wall protector for the stove, they do get very hot. I love your new stove, it should work great. Good luck and Congratulations!
That is the cutest thing! I use coal to heat my home and don't find it messy. It probably uses Nut coal. How many BTU's is it suppossed to put out? I hope you will post a video of it when its installed and running. Good luck.
stove is cool! Should be no problems at all using wood in it. I have burned wood on several "coal" stoves for years. As with all wood stoves keep an eye on it. You may need to clean out the tray more often than if you were using coal. You can also use charcoal in it, like the natural hardwood stuff. For that little cabin you won't need to burn too much. would love to see it once it is installed.
Yes, you can use wood, just pointing to it's design. Loading, if you remove the top plate while burning, smoke and fire will shoot up, it's for cleaning only. Notice there's no pick up pickup hole to remove the plate when hot, safety! Use the side door just below the top, you must maintain the updraft. Use hard wood like Oak or Maple, a lot of heat from a small amount and little ash. Also you can get a small foot operated log splitter around $50.00US and it's quiet! Best wishes!
Stove looks like a "Thor" design, made for coal not wood. Don't Load thru the top, not a good idea, it's for cleaning only. It's not very old and well taken care of. You notice the bottom cast iron grill and shaker handle sticking out. That means it's a coal stove you have a small door near the top, load in small amounts at a time once you have a good bed glowing. The stove will heat your cabin. You can buy coal in 40lb bags now. Just remember, coal ash is very toxic!
@mik22pik Thanks for the feedback. The two previous owners used it for woodburning and there's an opening just above the coal insert where they built their starter fires with small pieces of wood. I like having the option of using coal but we have lots of wood and I don't want to deal with the messiness of coal. Any reason why it shouldn't be used for woodburning, or loaded from the top once the fire is going? Again, this is how the previous owners were using it. Cheers
Great little stove!
