Arrow 1490 in soon-to-own home. Plugged in?

[Ahoragi]

Hello everyone. I got locked out of my old account due to my email no longer existing so I could not confirm my log in so I had to make another account. But anyways, I was always on the pellet forums due to owning a Castle Serenity Pellet stove which has been fantastic. Today we got confirmation that we are selling our house but also closing on another property which has a wood stove. We did a final walk through on the property to make sure stuff is good to go for this Friday's closing and got a chance to look at the wood stove up close. It is an Arrow 1490 but I noticed it was plugged in to an outlet. The plug runs into a box attached to the bottom of the stove. Nothing else is attached except the chimney. Can anyone tell me what this box is under the stove? Is it a blower of some sort? i did not see any vents coming out of it.

Thanks for any help on this. I been searching for 40 minutes and very little info on this stove. It's strange.

Blower ?

Blower, that is an old stove that really should be replaced anyway. I would get the chimney inspected before closing but that is just me.
