solcarlus Posted November 7, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 7, 2018 Bonjour. A whole lot was found during work on the old Pontanazen camp. Place of transit of the troops of the A.E.F. between 1917 and 1919. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfixer Posted November 7, 2018 Share #3 Posted November 7, 2018 Nice find...discovery...looks like the steel is thick enough to fire up...unless the floor is rusted ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USARV72 Posted November 7, 2018 Share #4 Posted November 7, 2018 Outstanding! Wish had one 25 or more years ago when displaying WWI, and at MTA a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted November 11, 2018 Share #5 Posted November 11, 2018 They don't come with a "floor". The fire is build right on the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinigander Posted December 7, 2018 Share #6 Posted December 7, 2018 The CW Sibley stove was different in that the pipe went straight up and out the ring hole in the CW Sibley tent. It also had a little shelf for heating a cup etc. Sibley went with the South, and the US never paid any patent money for the many stoves used in the war and on the frontier.

The stove's ring was a separate unattached piece with 'L' shaped legs, flat on top and slightly angled verticals too match the stove's sloped wall. One could be made from the decorative pass through wall covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinigander Posted September 5, 2020 Share #8 Posted September 5, 2020 Have set one up in the rain, (several of us) got a fire going in the stove, and in 15 minutes the grass floor was dry and area warm. It was a good HEAVY shelter. illinigander Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
