Crown No1

I started placing the cast iron parts into the stove tonight to see how they all fit. It is all just temporary. I will have to dismantle it all to make a few small mods and to fit the insulation.

It is quite exciting to see it all starting to come together though.

BTW, I found the rotting smell in my garage which I though was a dead critter somewhere. It turned out the the powerboard for the freezer had tripped. I gagged when I discovered the source. The freezer is now plugged back in and freezing all that very rotten food. I will clean it out on Sunday so that I can chuck all the frozen stuff in the bin ready for collection on Monday.

Whew! What a smell!
