Dutchwest Cast Iron Large 2461
We've been using the 2461(large) stove for 18 years. Use it mostly on Dec.25th,Jan, and Feb. Changed the catalytic converter. I now want to sell it because, at 75, I no longer want to get wood around. It has a square side door with a air controll and an air controll in the as door. Screens for the front door.
