Is that a King? We use one my husband has used his entire life. It's getting hard to find replacement bricks and grates. It was our only heat source for a time. Waking up at 4 am and running to stoke the fire to warm up the house in the morning and sprinting back to the warm bed to wait, people take modern heating conveniences for granted.

Our grates did wear out after a while. I think we had to use something we scrounged up.

Yes, we've had to have a metal fabricator shop create some stuff for ours.
