Community Theater Green Room Discussion Board: Wood Cook Stove

Message

   Hey guys....

Any suggestions on how to build/find/borrow/steal a realistic wood cook stove that has to smoke up a room?  I'm thinking of doing Grace and Glorie as a fundraiser for a local Hospice organization and now I gotta figure out how to come up with the major piece!!  Any help is much appreciated!!

	I don't know where you would find one. Most if not all would be antiques at this point. A wood proper burning stove would likely be mostly cast iron and weight a ton (perhaps literally). Even a small pot-belly stove is pretty heavy. I'm just sayin... You could build a much lighter one out of wood if you have the time and skills. Putting a smoke machine inside of the stove would be my first choice. If you can't fit it in, then you just might have to pipe it in. Edited by David McCall - 12/04/12 at 3:48pm

	Well, they probably wouldn't let me loose with the power tools....But, I do have a handy dandy son-in-law who probably will be put to work!
