Picture isn't good enough of the top to show if that is weld around the collar modifying it to 6. It would have had holes drilled in sides at top for the original damper mount too. That's the best freestanding mod I've seen with the legs angled and tapered slightly. They are usually angled too far or too straight, looking strange. Plenty of room under it to hang a squirrel cage blower to make a decent heater out of it.
 
I jus spoke with the seller. He purchased it several years ago to heat the garage but never got to use it. Here is more pictures he sent me:

It looks like a modified fireplace insert, so it's not actually a Grandma Bear.
