The 8021 incorporated these improvements over the 8020:

Baffle system redesigned to increase firebox size from 2.0 cu.ft. to 2.3 cu.ft.
Viewing window shape changed to rectangular, viewing area increased
Soapstone incorporated in side loading door (8020 side door was all cast iron)
Ash lip added under side door
Different design work on all castings
Completely different legs
New latch design on loading door, side door and ash drawer door
Different draft control
Rear vent option added
Rear clearance requirement reduced

Thanks for that info, it will help me decide on a used model.

Oh, by the way: corner support castings 7/32" wider.
