I bought a house with this old stove in the basement, it is rusted to heck, but it looks super cool would love to fix it up and get it WETT certified, but I am told that without the manual, it won't happen because there is no hearth pad requirement info on the plate. Any chance there is a manual for this brand of stove kicking around?

With the ULC testing data, perhaps the WETT installer would allow it to be installed as long as the hearth met a certain spec? I'm not sure what it is in Canada, but in the US some will accept putting it on a hearth approved for NFPA unlisted stoves. Note the protection requirement varies with the leg height.

NFPA Hearth info:
12.5.1.2.1 Room heaters, fireplace stoves, room heater/ fireplace stove combinations, or ranges that are set on legs or pedestals that provide not less than 6 in. (152 mm) of ventilated open space beneath the fire chamber or base of the appliance shall be permitted to be placed on floors of combustible construction, provided the following conditions exist:
(1) The floor under the appliance is protected with closely spaced solid masonry units not less than 2 in. (51 mm) in thickness.
(2) The top surface of the masonry is covered with sheet metal not less than 24 gauge [0.024 in. (0.61 mm)].
(3) The floor protection extends not less than 18 in. (457 mm) beyond the appliance on all sides.

12.5.1.2.2 Room heaters, fireplace stoves, room heater/ fireplace stove combinations, or ranges that are set on legs or pedestals providing 2 in. to 6 in. (51 mm to 152 mm) of ventilated open space beneath the fire chamber or base of the appliance shall be permitted to be placed on floors of combustible construction, provided the following conditions exist:
(1) The floor under the appliance is protected with one course of hollow masonry units not less than 4 in. (102 mm) in nominal thickness.
(2) The masonry units are laid with ends unsealed and joints matched in such a way as to provide free circulation of air through the core spaces of the masonry.
(3) The top surface of the masonry is covered with sheet metal not less than 24 gauge [0.024 in. (0.61 mm)].

Thank you for the info. I will find out!

Not the same company. The Kodiak I found is in Alaska. I don't really see anything on stoves made by Kodiak Canada MFG LTD in BC CA

I'm not sure that is the same company. The name is the same but that one is US based and the OP's stove is Canadian made.

@Kodiakquestions can you post some other pictures of the stove for a better identification? Does it have firebrick in the firebox?

I searched Canadian company registry and found they did exist in the 80s but there is no other info.

It is hard to see but it is lined with fire bricks

Looks like this is an independent and different stove company from the US Kodiak Stove Co. A glass door on this vintage is unusual.

I see, though it looks like it could use a fresh replacement set before using again. Is there a baffle or at least shelf brackets on which one could rest?

There are shelf brackets for a baffle to rest and yes the bricks would be replaced.

Adding a baffle will improve efficiency a bit.
