another help me identify this stove thread

[muletrane]

Hi everyone,
I've been searching through the forums hoping to find a stove insert that resembles mine, but have had no luck. Does anyone recognize this stove? I can find no info on the the stove itself.

It was bought used back in the late nineties.

It looks like a stove made at a local welding shop to me. How is it hooked up to the chimney

It just sits in the fireplace and smoke flows up chimney. There is no connection between stove and chimney.

That type of install no longer meets minimum code because there are serious safety issues with them. It could be hooked to a liner but honestly I would spend the money or time on that insert to do it.
