does anybody know about this one

When I lived in WV, these were quite popular and sold at every hardware store - they still are sold at many such places. The stoves really crank out the heat quickly, as you can imagine with the thin sheet body. Probably tens of thousands of them in use here and there.

We installed one in the large bread van that we called home...of course, the outside wall was the trucks metal, so no combustibles! Ran the pipe right up through the roof.

Kept us fairly warm in the WV winter.

I'd probably take this in a shop rather than that cracked scandia.....these blued steel units lasted for quite a few years.

I used one for years. Really clean burning since it burned hot from about two seconds after the kindling lit off.

Had a barrel stove too but later turned it into a smoker.

Had a similar stove (Ashley?) long ago, back in the 70's. This was in northwest CT. It was my first stove and did the job, but took a judicious eye to make sure it didn't run away from you. There wasn't too much between you and the blaze inside. However, the stove was a close friend when the temps dropped below 20 in that uniinsulated cabin. It could really cook.
