[alberg30] Cabin heater - Kole Stove

[Forhan, Thomas]

From: "Forhan, Thomas" <Thomas.Forhan at mail.house.gov>

Well, now I am glad I never tried to actually use coal! My stovepipe takes a
bit on an angle from the port bulkhead and does go through the high part of
the cabin top. Thankfully, though I use it a lot I've never had to clean up
a mess on deck.
