That's kind of a rare bird. I could only find one posting here for a Woodstocker. His was a late 70s steel stove.

Is this for the Maine craigslisting? If so, get them to send you some pictures and post them here.

fencible's mention of the Woodstocker:

it was listed on craigs...i just unloaded it
it's in need of a clean an polish but bricks and stove are in good shape
feels like it was made from a uss warship though

it appears to be missing the blower on back..hence me wanting info
would like to put a blower back on

ul listing tag states end of 79,so 79 or early 80's model

Nice, thanks for posting the picture. It does look stout. Wire brush it down and give it a coat of stove brite. Should look like new. Can you post some shots of the interior and back where the blower should go? You may be able to adapt a stock fan.

cross posted, what is the blower inlet size? Depending on how hot it gets back there, one of these might work:

opening is
3.5"t x 4"w
and bolts are
4.5" t x 5"w
i'll try to post another shot of interior in a bit

Although this one might fit, it is putting out too much air. (broken link removed)

This one is closer to the CFM needed and maybe it would work with a speed control? (broken link removed)

I'd try it without the blower first unless heat circulation is an issue.

thanks for the info
thinking i'll put a blower on
looks like air vents around top plate through holes seen
where the stove will be positioned in house would like to move it away from the room
i'll try it first without

and if any one else has any info good or bad...much appreciated
