Any idea on the first place to start trying to identify this stove?

Looks like another Taiwan knockoff of a Jotul F118. Look for Made in Taiwan in a casting, maybe on the back.
 
Well the lawsuit that Jotul finally filed to stop this copying was definitely significant. But no, it is not a significant stove and not as well made as the Jotul they copied. This one looks like there may be a crack in the door?
 
Ok all i just picked up a knockoff of a jotul ??. Casting on the back lower cornner is made in usa and thats it except for casting part numbers on a 2 part bottom. The stove weighs aprox 120-150 3 legs, out the back flue 2 doors nice locking mech tight seal. Just curious as to maker ? Its a nice tight unit.

I'm guessing this may be a knockoff, actually made in Taiwan.
 
Thanks. I think i will clean it out , put the door, s back on the light it up to see if it leaks at all. There were 2 rectangular 1 1/2 by maybe 4x8 whitish fire bricks i dont think they were from this stove.
