I picked this stove up last summer for $100 , it is very heavy , I'd say about 600 lbs with all the fire brick. 8" flue very low on back , 3/8" and 5/16 " steel throughout . The upper section has a 12' Stainless steel tube for heating domestic water and a 16' SS tubing for heating water for a radiant system , both exit out the back . on the one pic you can see a conduit, its for a blower, that blows air through a jacket around the fire box , then exits on each side. A very large slanted baffle , angled at 45 degrees goes from the lower back of the fire box , to the upper front , leaving a 3" gap between the top surface and baffle. The primary air is from 2 spin caps on either side of the stove. Has a funny name in cast iron letters on the upper front section with a sea horse head on either side of the name . DLUGOSZ is the name . No other numbers or info on the stove. The stove is in my barn about 50 miles away so additional pictures will have to come later. I want to retrofit this stove with secondary air tubes so I can use it in the basement of my log home

I am guessing it is a one off, since the materials are thicker than a manufacturing company would likely use.
I like it but it sounds like the baffle angle cuts down on the usable firebox space.
 
You will need to relocate the flue outlet to the top or as high as you can get it. It should be above the door opening top to prevent smoke roll in, (the reason for the higher step top) but for secondaries you need even more draft. 6 inch outlet with insulated flue as well. Your configuration now won't make a baffle over secondary inlet anywhere near hot enough.

My plans for a chimney is a 32 ' masonry with a SS liner that goes up through the log home surrounded by rock , only the upper 4-5 ' would be exposed outside with double wall insulated SS. The baffle can be changed to the configuration of the Fisher baffle that I put in my Grandma Bear . Then secondary retrofit that I saw here with the Bullard retrofit thread
 
The SS water tubing can be removed and the holes plugged . The flue opening change could take place after I give it a trial run , but I whole heartedly agree that it should be higher in the fire box .
The name on it , googled is polish , but no reference to any stove company. I have a friend with the same last name , I'll have to give him a call and see if he knows any thing about it . The person I bought it from is close by so maybe I can get some info from him.
