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.

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!
