Parlor Stove
Modern Crawford By Walker & Pratt
Circa 1900-1920

The Modern Crawford Parlor Stove is both classic and elegant. The smooth cast iron body, base and top feature understated touches of scroll work. Beautiful nickel wings frame the front loading door. A grand and shiny footrest is topped off with two nickel orbs. Wood can be loaded from the front and the side doors. Two cooklids are hidden beneath the hinged top. The amber glow of the fire can be seen when the primary and secondary draft controls are fully opened. This wood burning parlor stove is a class act.

Heating Stove Installation

Antique Wood-Burning Heating Stove:
Installation guidelines desrcibed on this page have been provided by the National Fire Protection Association. The NFPA standards are the basis for many local codes. These guidelines state that a wood-burning stove, heating stove must be located a mimimum of 36 inches from unprotected woodwork and other combustible materials or furniture. The addition of a heat shield or other protective devices, to the wall or the stove, allows a reduction of those distances by 50% to a distance of 18 inches from a combustible wall and 9 inches from a noncombustible wall. The wood-burning stove needs to be vented. This is done through a class-A, double-walled chimney.

Antique Heating Stove with a Gas Conversion:
An antique heating stove with a gas conversion must conform to the clearances for a wood-burning stove (above), maintaining a minimum distances of 9 inches from a non-combustible wall when a heat shield is in place. The converted heating stove needs to be vented. This is done through a class-B, single-walled chimney. Set ups to Propane (LPG) and Natural Gas available on all models. With a gas conversion the total BTU ranges from 28,000 to 45,000.

Antique Heating Stove with an Electric Conversion?
An antique heating stove with an electric conversion must conform to the clearances for a wood-burning stove (above), maintaining a minimum distances of 9 inches from a non-combustible wall when a heat shield is in place. The eletcric converted heating stove does NOT need to be vented. With a gas conversion the maximum BTU output is 38,000.

What does a proper stove installation look like?
All heating stoves must be placed a minimum of 36 inch from combustible surfaces or 18" from non-combustible surfaces. The addition of a heat shield reduces these distances by one-half. Allow a one-inch clearance between rear wall and protective, non-combustible materials for air circulation. Allow at least 18" between the top of the chimney protector and the ceiling or other combustible material.
