    My parents were both born in the early 1900s. Back then coal was delivered by the ton and dumped in the basement coal bin so it could be shoveled into the furnace to heat the house. To make the coal go as far as possible the boys of the family would be sent off with bushel baskets to infiltrate train yards, find coal cars on parked trains or slow moving trains, climb onto the cars and steal coal by shoveling it off the car so it could be picked up and carried home. My old man talked about the time they were doing that on a slow moving train which suddenly picked up speed. They had to ride on top of the coal car until it made the next stop, hop off and grab onto the boxcar of a train headed back to where they lived.

    Wow, that's a nice older ACME Giant Potbelly. My ACME Giant Potbelly is a little newer, probably circa 1920-30's. This is my first Fall/Winter season with it so I am still getting used to using it the most efficiently. Thanks for sharing yours with us.

    Love the potbellys. I was given an old one for my shed similar to your just a bit smaller and i loved it so much i turned my shed into a living area. Its currently in storage until i buy a place but gee i miss it so do my kids. Nothing better than sitting around one on a cold winters night.

    Too Cool. Your home looks like a Movie set. Living overseas we relieved a lot on sunshine and shutters for either blocking out extreme solar energy heating the room in the summertime or closing the shutters and thick curtains in the winter to block and cold air draft coming through the windows during the winter. Sunshine in the winter was very important during the day to warm up the room. We had kerosene heat during the day and always needed a window cracked open in every room for safety . Never sleep overnight with kerosene heater lit. Your cabin has the perfect interior for entertaining. I hope puppy has a warm big bed to nap on during the day ! Great lighting.

    I had one of these back in the '80's. Once I got it sealed up it ran great.

    Great information, great video. I always wondered how to regulate the pot belly stove and the flu. Thanks for taking time to make this video and sharing with us your subscribers.

    The dog walking over each time you change position is hilarious. Hes ready for anything. Then he sees you squat next to the basket of sticks and thinks you're gonna play
