I have this wood stove that my father has in storage. It seems pretty clear to me that it's worth more than scrap value.

Anyone have type of idea what it's worth? I have been trying to find some information, but while I continue to look, I figured I'd post here. If I had to guess, I would say it weighs anywhere from 80-100 pounds. I haven't loaded it into the truck yet to get a real grasp at what it weighs. That's just a guess from shuffling it around.

I'm going to be heading home to visit the family tonight, so I'll have an opportunity to take out, and possibly take any more pictures if that would help. It says "Riteway" on a couple different places.



Thanks in advance!
Most wood burning appliances in storage are no more than boat anchors.

The USA and other county's will have similar requirements, to our CSA certification, if the stove is not tagged scrap it. No insurance company will insure the home without it.


Checking Out Your Woodstove
Look for Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or Canadian Standards Association (CSA) certification. EPA approved woodstoves include features designed to completely burn pollutants before they leave the firebox. They are not only more efficient than most older models, but can cut smoke emissions by as much as 90%! If your existing stove is more than 10 years old, then it may be time to replace it with a new advanced combustion unit meeting EPA / CSA standards.
