So it's a non-catalytic stove, right? Like I don't see the foot pedal, so that makes it an F-600 which is not a bad stove BUT: Probably need to reseal the front and regasket the top and griddle as these are problem areas for this stove. Assuming you've checked also for cracks in the bottom and that the secondary manifold and tubes are good, also baffle plates are not warped?
Looks like a FL12 CB, no side door handle. It had a recessed bolt in the side door like the front doors latch bolt. The stove tool operates both. If the stove's body is in good condition, well worth the 275. Baffles and a secondary burn system would cost about 500 if needed. If the baseplate is indeed cracked, I'd pass, that would set you back about 300, plus having to break it down and rebuild/reseal. Better than VC? Hard to tell, if a comparable VC is in good shape, both would heat about the same I'd say. My first choice though would be the non catalytic Firelight. That is a good price, I'm wondering why its that low...
