Hale "The Brute" stove.

My BIL got an older stove recently and was wondering if anyone knows about it. It's a Hale stove, The Brute on the bottom with a blower. Picture isn't his but the same thing.

Looks like something that would inhale a truck load of wood in every breath....what a monster...lol

Looks like local Michigan homegrown.

I'm sure it is, just can't find anything on it. There's a crack in the front above the door I ground out and welded. He want's to add a baffle of some sort and another row of brick. It will replace his elderly barrel stove in the shop.

He figures he can stuff a wheelbarrow load in there.

Should be up to the task if safely installed. A baffle should help improve efficiency.
