My new Dovre Vintage 50 stove has arrived. The 18 ton delivery truck couldn’t get up our road so we got it in the back of the Discovery. It weighs a ton, and is built like an AGA. No chance of lifting it by hand so I had to fire up the Fergie to get it out of the Discovery and into the house.

I think I’d have strapped it to the shovel!

shame the door’s not wide enough to get the tractor right inside 🙂

Brilliant ,how many channels can you get on it ?

🙂

Does it do Freeview?

That’s ace. Retrotastic.

Don’t know about Freeview but I bet you can plug a Ferguson top loader into it!

Flatscreen as well?

It reminds me of when I went to pick up a Stovax with the father in law in his Escort van. The last words the bloke in the warehouse said were “Careful on the brakes boys, if that slides forward it will f#cking kill you”. A very tense 30 mile drive followed.

It took 4 of us with scaffold poles to get it in the house.

Never mind the stove that tractor is ace, wish I had a garden big enough so I could have one

that’s beautiful. how many kW?

The stove’s pretty nice as well…..

mcmoonter is RICH!
TAX HIM!

11KW, it’s going to be toasty here come the winter.

mcmoonter is RICH!

If I were, my tractor tyres wouldn’t be bald and perished, and I’d have a man to install it for me!

You are gonna need several pretty big wood shelters full to the brim to keep that running!!

You have a tractor and don’t appear to be a farmer = RICH!
I’m telling TJ!

Can you get inside those big pot thing’s by your front door….

That’s where he puts his loose change on the way in.

I can’t think why but when I saw these pictures the other day I thought of mcmoonter.

BLOODY ‘ELL, your loaded loaded, that’s what buying/selling bike parts gets you aye. 😉 😛

For the record it cost way more than my car and it’s the first new thing I’ve bought in years!

I’m seeing pop up adverts for AGAs on STW, surely a first. 😯

how do you get it from the door to the final resting place? (and of that we will require pics)

Does it have a little coal powered remote?

Flue pipe in the first pic sure doesnt look big enough!!

That’s the set top ariel. It’s too retro for a dish and it’s only got three channels, all in black and white.

hipster stoves. now i have seen everything

It’s in!

We used a combination of a trolley and carpet surfing to get it in place.

Bloody hell it’s hot. It’s rated at 11kw max, and something like 9kw ticking over. It’s using bardly any fuel compared to the open fire. We might need to think about replacing our 70s stove in the hall. Thee new ones are so much more efficient.

Hortus = posh 🙂

In the absence of professional installation can I suggest that sir invests in a CO detector?

It came supplied with one.

a budgie?

Granny keeling over?

that’s good.

It’s a smart looking stove 🙂

stylish stove, not so stylish tiles and surround?

Nice.

Just had a call from Firebelly. Going to have our stove installed next month.

Why is it so efficient?

Nice.

Just had a call from Firebelly. Going to have our stove installed next month. You absolutely must put up a picture when it’s in situ. it’s the STW law 🙂

Beautiful I like! … errrmmm … but you need to have the matching retro deco in your house … 😆

Also, it looks a bit out of character with the fireplace. Are you going to do it up?

It’s in the Georgian part of the house which was built in 1712, it was last modernised early in the 20th century. Installing a retro style stove is modernisation at Moonter towers.

Fair enough 🙂
