BIS wood stoves - # 603

Question:

When I purchased my home in 1989, the seller had installed a wood stove.  It is front loading and has two hot air vents.  The stove is built into a fake hearth and chimney.  I can take the hot air vent grates off the “chimney” and look down on the unit from above (the distance from vent to stove is about six feet). 

All I know is that the stove is apparently a “BIS” stove.  The grate has burned through and must be replaced.  It looks to be removable but apparently is heat warped to the point that it simply won’t lift out, even after a good deal of “persuasion” by various means.  Are you at all familiar with this stove?  Can I somehow remove the firebrick to get the grate out?  None of the local fireplace stores know the brand I’m talking about.  Can you help me?
