Oil burning Dickinson heater converted to controlled draft wood burning, with preheat intake baffles and internal and external heat shields. It creates a slow, steady burning stove with extremely clean exhaust and puts out approximately twice the heat of oil burning operation.
This is the Dickinson Alaska model with glass door and is the middle model between the Newport and the Antarctic. Happy to provide drawings and plans or advice to make this conversion which will get you off oil and allow the use of hardwood..
(the dickinson solid fuel heater does not compare in efficiency and output to the properly converted oil burner- It has no preheat, no heat sink,- basically gets overheated and then goes out-..It also needs major modification with baffles and heat sink and insulation to provide acceptably efficient fuel use.)
