We bought our house 4 years ago and this stove was in place. To be honest it sealed the deal for me buying the house. I grew up with only wood heat and love it. Im new to this forum, and I have been looking for help on this stove. I want to do some refurbishing work on her over the summer. This sucker bangs out heat like crazy and keeps all 1700 sq ft of the house toasty. Thanks for any help!

Pic shows for me. I saved it and reposted to the thread. Can you see it now?​
The only Sunbeam stoves I could find were made by Fox Furnace in Elybia Ohio, but they don't resemble this stove. Not sure if it is the same mfg..​
 
Only Sunbeams I familiar with came with 4 wheels and a craving for wallets.
 
Well, This sunbeam has served me well the last 4 years. Im going through about 5 cord a year which is fine by me. My husqy and huskee don mind the work and either do I. I just wonder about getting parts. If I have to I will start fabricaing on my own. Thanks for any help!
 
I have one just like it that I just bought this winter. When I researched the only thing I could find was this thread. I have to agree it does put out the heat. I’ll be installing this in my living room this summer.
 
IMO, this does not look like a modern stove, it most likely is going to be wood hog and a smoke dragon. It may have worked for the OP but if you are spending money on new install, there are probably far better newer stoves on sale that will be lot more efficient.

I agree with peak it will be very inneficent and the clearance and hearth requirements are huge.
