Description
Circa 1995 Stanley Super Star Fire/Range
We have redecorated and its time to move on this much loved fire. It has heated our hot water and cooked meals in our family home for the past winters. We stopped using this beauty in September last year.
We have burned just wood each winter and it has heated our living area, been used pretty much every night for cooking (both upper oven and cook top) and has served all our hot water cylinder heating during the winter.
It is getting a bit tired now, and would benefit from some maintenance and repair, or will sparkle after a full refurbishment. Issues include a crack in the steel of the oven lining, one of the two glass layers on the oven door is broken, the roof of the lower oven is loose and was held up with bricks, and the fire bricks are broken after removal. The wet back box was replaced 10 years ago.
Buyer must pick up and it's very heavy. We have taken off all components to reduce the weight when we took it out (all doors taken off etc), it is now stored across two pallets in the carport. It took 4 strong people to strop lift it out of the kitchen to the garage even with this reduction.
Flue and fire guard available if you want these too.
Much loved but time to move on. Super low reserve so get in quick.
Payment must be within 7 days of auction closing and pickup must be within 14 days of auction closing.

Is the Boiler only on the rear of the Fire Box, or does it have a section of the Boilers face on the side of the Fire Box AS WELL? Are all the Fire Bricks in good condition? Is the Upper Oven's Roof panel in sound condition or is it also cracked/broken? Has the cooker been used without any water flowing through its Boiler at any time? A photo of the underside of the main large Hot Plate would be helpful. Also an image of its main Fire Grate. Cheers v*********y (101 • 10:26 pm, Sun, 11 MayBoiler is rear section only. Firebricks are not in good condition. These were broken when taken out of the fire box to reduce weight getting the unit out. Ive kept them in but would recommend buying a new set. Upper oven top is cracked. I’ve added a photo of this and of the grate. There are a few firebrick pieces still left in the grate from moving it but it is in good condition otherwise. We didn’t burn wood with nails or anything so as to keep it clear. jesslee2 (108 • Sunday, 11 May 2025Has the Boiler ever leaked water or has water ever been coming down the Flue & onto the cooker and/or its Flue receiving Box. Thanks v*********y (101 • 10:28 pm, Sun, 11 MayHi. Boiler/wet back leaked and was replaced with a new one about 10years ago. We replaced the firebricks at the same time but as mentioned above they are very broken. Not aware of any water coming down the flue but we do live in windy Wellington jesslee2 (108 • Sunday, 11 May 2025Cooker has never been used without water through the wet back. We have always had it connected to the hwc. Seller comment Monday, 12 May 2025 I’ve added photos. Last one is by where the flue connected. It’s full of ash and whatnot but hopefully gives you an idea of its condition. Seller comment Monday, 12 May 2025 Thanks for the info and extra photos. What about the Box which the Flue slides down into? Is it is sound condition? Also, what the enamel like around the Hot Plate? Is it chipped or broken off and now the underneath cast iron,starting to show signs of rust? Is there areas of dulled or chipped enamel anywhere? What is access like for a car and trailer? Is it a flat concrete surface, or is it gravel? Is house on a flat section, therefore possibly no stairs to worry about? v*********y (101 • 10:35 am, Wed, 14 MayI’ll try answer your questions. You need to keep in mind this fire has had around 25years of use. It’s not in immaculate new condition. The last photo was looking into the flue connection point. I can’t easily access all of it as it’s stacked in pieces across two pallets to keep the weight down. Enamel around the hot plate looks to be ok but some of the green around the front of fire is chipped and has some signs of the iron underneath. jesslee2 (108 • Wednesday, 14 May 2025Looking at options here, & am not farmilar with Wgtn. Would you be able to put it on a pallet and allow a Hiab truck to collect it? What sort of fuel did you use in it? Any coal? Was the replacement Boiler installed by someone experienced with these cookers. Eg, Did they remove and replace the cookers wet insulation? Id be concerned about rusting surfaces and fixings. Cheers v*********y (101 • 10:41 am, Wed, 14 MayIt’s already across two pallets (all the doors etc were taken off to reduce the weight to get it out of the house, through a few doorways, down a few steps and into the garage etc) Hiab can collect but they’ll need a pallet jack to bring it forward in garage and will need to strap it securely to the pallet. We never used coal. I don’t know about the person before us. Replacement wet back was installed by a qualified plumber. jesslee2 (108 • Wednesday, 14 May 2025Access- were a back section so there is a driveway to go up. The access up driveway and into carport is concrete. You do need to turn the trailer at the top across bricks before reversing into carport. Carport has an angled floor (down the drive) but no big lips. It is in the back of the carport so if it was me I’d use d pallet jack to bring it forward and onto trailer (trailer with a flat ramp). Seller comment Wednesday, 14 May 2025 Regarding hiab access, you will need to check with the transport company though. It would need to be a smaller truck. Our neighbour installed a fence and some drivers don’t like going past it now. We had skip bins delivered etc with no problems during Reno’s but just highlighting as if your doing it remotely they might say nope. Seller comment Wednesday, 14 May 2025
