Help identify this stove

[Coreyjames]

Please help . I bought and installed this wood stove in my pole barn recently. I’m wondering if it’s homemade? In the upper box it has a “heat exchanger?” (Pipes running front to back). Does this type of stove have a name so I can do some research? It has a small rectangle hole in the bottom backside (for squirrel cage??) and a larger rectangle cut out (currently welded shut) on the top rear of box.

Where would I install a blower ? How do I take advantage of the heat exchanger pipes and most importantly who makes this stove ??

No clue about the stove it certainly doesn't look mass produced. Does it change to chimney pipe when it passes through that wall?

No , black pipe all the way. Couldn’t afford the insulated chimney. I’ve heard the warnings. Going to see how this goes for a season . Seems to have good draft so far .

How close to wood is the single wall? How close to the wood is the stove

The stove is more than 36” from wood or insulation. The pipe is more than 24” from wood.

Ok then it is pretty good it was hard to see from the pic. Is the "chimney" outside that far as well

The chimney is closer to 12 inches away from steel siding . Do you think that’ll be a problem ? I’ve taken multiple temp readings this weekend and never got more than 60 degrees on the siding . It was high 40s outside yesterday.

We had to get creative to use that wall thimble since it’s made for the double wall chimney . We had to use 8” to six inch reducer on both sides of the wall with 1 ft 8” pipe going through the thimble . I’m worried about soot buildup in that connection .. I’ll keep an eye on it .

Yes way to close. What happens when the creosote buildup that is inevitable when running single wall outside ignites and gets that pipe glowing at over 1000 degrees? The system has lots of safety issues
