Hello all,
New to the forum, but have been lurking for a while. Picked up a Grandpa Bear this weekend to put into a cabin and have a few questions after going through all the threads. This one appears to be one of the older models, but it also looks like someone has added a heat shield along the back and bottom of the stove. I just wanted to find out if this is actually original or if it was added later. I haven't seen this one in any image I have seen and it just seems odd that others wouldn't have it. Any info would be great.
Thanks.
