Wondering what type/brand of a wood stove I have.

[Evalasvegas]

Good morning,

I've been in my house for about eight years, and have been using the wood stove every winter. Compared to other stove I have seen, this one is rather large. I have looked all over, inside and out, for a tag or stamp noting a Make or Model. However, I cannot find anything. Thus, I have come to you all to see if I have a standard wood stove or a custom made one.

Thanks in advance,

It might be custom made, though fancy. Is it connected to a full liner up the chimney or is there no connection and just a reliance on a tight seal at the surround? What is the trimon the front door for? Is there a window there? Where are the air controls?

No idea on brand. I'd worry about the frt. hanging over your floor like that, I'm sure that's not approved.

Correct, there needs to be a proper hearth pad in front of the stove door.

Relies on a tight seal. There is a gasket/fiber around the seal. The trim is a "antique" brass figure, of a man and woman sitting around a stove. No window. The air controls are knobs on the sides (one on each side).

Noted.

Thanks for the advice.

It looks nicely made. Can you post a straight front shot of the brass figures on the front of the stove? This might hold a clue.

No connection to the liner/chimney, just the tight seal. Here is a pic of the "decoration" on the door.

I like it, that's charming. I ran a Google image search but it found nothing. What it did show was a lot of banks that had similar appliqués.

Unfortunately, this type of installation is no longer allowed. It's called a "slammer".

Thank you and I will look into options for omitting the "slammer".

More than likely that will require switching to a newer insert which will burn cleaner and longer.

This will mean attaching a full stainless steel liner to it, after the chimney is fully cleaned.
