Kachelofen



West German WESO ceramic tile stove, from a yard sale. When we finally got it's 440 pounds home and tried to bring it upstairs it crushed the first step, so the next 15 were not in the cards. But when we do finally install it it's going to heat our whole chalet, and we can even cook on it! (see pic).

What a lucky find! We had one in the house I grew up in and wish I could find one again. It kept the house warm all night!
Did you get it put in?

No, unfortunately we're still in our apartment, and it's just acting like a table in the studio . But once we buy a house its going to be activated! (Can't wait!)

White ! Mine is Burganduy
I bought it in 1978 and it has traveled with me from Ohio to Seattle and back to Ohio.
I could stoke it once a night and it would burn for over 10 hours.
