Yes it is a genuine cast iron and brass stove that we bought in Cornwall. It has never been used to burn wood or coal, as our local area is a smokeless zone. It has up until now been an ornament with a couple of "candleflame" bulbs simulating a real fire

You'll have to use a second monitor - a small LCD one, just running a video of flames, to tuck behind the grill.

Great. I had a good idea in "Iron Maiden" and now it has no credibility because 1SF agreed with me.

Well, my next suggestion was "Ole Ironsides".

That was to be followed by "Rusty".

Good luck.

I am still working on the internal shell, I am photographing it as I go, and documenting it too. I will probably post it on my website.

The top hinges up and back, and the 2 doors at the front drop down.
I may need to use a laptop DVD drive, or perhaps modify the ash drawer.

If you worked exclusively in Boolean Logic, you'd have to call it the Iron XOR

As some of you may have read, I am reviving my Linux HTPC project, now that I can build it with Ubuntu and MythTV.

Wouldn't Mandriva cooker be more appropriate?
