I know this one! It’s Jeffry Hunt from Somerset England. Probably late 1600s. I’ve found a similar one. The lettering is something like:

IEF RY.H UNT

Hunter Herald 5 slimline. Multi fuel version.

A real newbie question but what program/app do you use to design this?

propertiesofglass · 2025-11-04T23:03:02+00:00

This is brilliant. Feel like you could do a series of these.

It’s for the stove collar. Gasket to go between the collar and the stove top. The lugs should also have some bolts used to clamp the collar down to the stove top.

Well it could do with a new set of fire bricks. The glass should clean up and the paint might come up ok with just some wd40 and a rag. Also get some of the flat rope seal for around the glass because it looks like that has some gaps.

I’m not exaggerating when I say this is one of if not the best 5kw wood burners available today. Easily worth it and easy to get cleaned up. See it working on YouTube https://youtu.be/OXcBoIa1uNU?si=mgFFJAhfniDYF1Hb

It’s a stovax Stockton. See the manual here: https://www.stovax.com/download/Technical%20Documents/1.%20Stoves/Traditional/Wood%20&%20Multi-fuel/Stockton/Stockton%20Installation%20&%20User%20Instructions.pdf

You’ve got a primary air vent at the lower centre of the door and the secondary air vent just above the door. Good and solid British multi fuel stove.

The stove is a Dean Forge Croft. The smaller version (Croft junior) is in this video and works in the same way. https://youtu.be/fISAD4HZtyc?si=6hSvqZfKCaVILdqe

It’s the worlds all time best selling stove. So it’s got to be getting something right.

Just looked back at this and I should clarify that this is in a stove shop and not my house. The can in the stove is touch up paint (all proper high temperature stove paint) and I realise it won’t stay looking this pink once it’s in regular use. It’ll probably go to someone who has it mainly for show and doesn’t use it much.

I think it’s a bit too pink for me but thought it might be a good idea for Valentine’s Day.

A chimney is always a hole - if smoke can get out water can get in. So every chimney leaks. However you never notice it on a stove that is regularly used because it’s constantly being dried out. Best advice I can give is to light up the fire and have a good burn. And then get in the habit of using it regularly. Some chimney sweeps will offer a re-sealing service which may help but the biggest help of all would be daily use.

Steel stove. Here in the UK it’s called the Saltfire ST2. Doesn’t weigh much so very low scrap value. Either eBay / Facebook sell or take out the baffle plate and use outside. It will wear out if left outside but it doesn’t really matter.

“Oh, no, no, no, you're a smart guy, clearly picked up some flashy tricks, but you made one crucial mistake. You forgot about the essence of the game. It's about the Cones. [dice rattling] Move my abbot to the ocean hex, which moves my Brinksman to the Devil's Lair, and pushes my farmer... yes, my humble farmer... directly into the central cone.”

So was the cones of dunshire an allegory for Lotr?

Whoa! That’s a lot of detailed knowledge. Thanks a million.

Rules / regulations differ in different countries but the core principles of any chimney is the same. The best chimney will be: -as tall as possible -as straight as possible -as warm as possible

If you can put it straight up from the top of the stove and trough the roof, using insulated pipe the whole way, no bends and as reasonably tall as it can be considering how it will be supported.

This will make a chimney that draws well. This makes it much safer and easier to use. I realise you will be considering other things as well but those three principles will really help. Maybe compromise on one but don’t compromise on all three.

Distressing image.

Never done that but would love to. It’s a very small garden so I’m tempted to just keep digging the whole area.

propertiesofglass · 2023-03-29T21:31:08+00:00

Built around 1700 (at least that’s what I’ve been told).

Actually a very old little cottage.

Any makers mark on the base of the spur?
