Letting go my beloved Sparky for the forum..

[cyberdigger]

Well, it's not a bottle, but if anyone is the slightest bit interested, we can talk.. Sparky is a mini-stove, or was, until someone drilled holes in the top and bottom to make a lamp.. I removed the lamp crap, and a slightly competent welder could easily make her work again.. otherwise, she's suitable for display. I will not entertain any bids under $30, but I will pay shipping. All proceeds will be donated to this website.. any questions??

How about if I ditch the bubble wrap and pack her with Twinkies and Yodels?

The stove is about 14 inches tall.. I will dust her off and get some better pics this evening.. I haven't chosen an end date yet.. it's too hot to think...

Hi Charlie,
My father was a welder and he used to use a Brazing rod wrapped around another rod to make an alloy that worked well on cast iron.Cast cant be welded,it needs to be Brazed because the temperature differences allow for a lot of expansion and contraction which soft Braze can handle.I would just put a bolt and washers through it to plug up the holes and wala,no smoke or ashes leaking.Paint em black and there you go.

Thats a very nice little "pot bellied" stove.That would be perfect for an ice fishing shack or a small hunting blind.

Sounds like good advice, Tim, thank you. []
