Fisher wood stove rebuild

[Dsawman]

I would like to rebuild this old fisher stove. It was a single door dual air vent. So it could have been a papa bear or a moma bear. The door is all I have. Can someone here help me with the measurements or prints for the sides,front,back,and the top. All information and help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds more like the goal is to make a complete new stove. Attaching the door may be the easy part.

I bought the door years ago, the guy told me the stove was lost in a house fire. I bet it was have cleaned up and been just fine. I am a welder fabricator by trade. Building the box will be easy I just want it to be as close to factory specs as possible when finished. I have a grandpaw bear and fisher fireplace insert but they are way different. I just love these old stoves.

Looks like this may have been on a Baby Bear. Here is some more information on that model.

If you find the info you need and do the build, do a thread on it. I think many would find it interesting

Yes, it could be a papa door, hard to tell without the stove body. @coaly is the expert on the mamas and the papas.

Just chiming in.....doesn't the Mama Bear and the Papa Bear use the exact same door, though the Papa stove body is wider overall?
