I need help finding the manufacturer of this stove

It has no markings.
It has a blower and we need a name for insurance purposes

Tempted to say homebrewed stove or from a local welding shop.

Nope. My parents had the exact same stove in their home in Arizona. iirc it was a Schrader. Don't quote me on that though.

I don't recall ever seeing a name or plate on the folks stove.

The only Schraders I've seen have spin knob air controls and Schrader boldly cast into the door, but maybe this model preceded?

Yeah I have seen lots of shraders and none of them looked anything like that

I could be way off base on the brand. But it's the exact stove for sure. They bought the house in the mid 70s and iirc it was already installed. Under normal circumstances I would ask them what brand it was. I was taken aback when I seen the post on the day that it was. Our house burnt down and my brother was killed on December 15th 1985. The only clues the fire department found were the doors opened and an accelerant was used so they think he tried to use gas to start a fire and it exploded.

Needless to say seeing that stove hooked up like it is. With wood scraps, propane bottles laying around, and creosote running down the wall makes me cringe. If I were the underwriter I think that the brand of the stove is the least of the worries.

Looks like there are one if not two reducers on the smoke pipe. That's a no-no.

Agreed and you didnt even mention the 8 to 7 reducer at the stove then the 7 to 6 reducer into the chimney. Lots of problems with this one.
