It`s an oil stove . It looks to be cast iron, they are beautiful and they burn clean employing a carbeurator and catylitic convertor that pre-heats the vapors ,gets super hot, and glows red and produces a short circular bright blue flame similar to that of a gas stove. Heat control up and down is simple turn of a knob and near instant reponse .They do throw a lot of heat.
It requires no electricity and maintenance is much less than a pellet stove. These stoves are widely used in Europe. Most are made in Belgium.
I burned one for 6-7 years in my finished basement before I switched to pellets . I heated most of my upstairs too. The downside is they are NOT any cheaper to run than my central oil system. We just happen to like a stove of any kind and an alternative heat source in the house.
If the price of oil hadn`t risen as it did I would never have switched to pellets.
This is in a house for sale, and I think it is a pellet stove... note the round pot in the middle? ....can anyone identify it?
