I have an older stove with a blower on it to blow air around the outside to circulate hot air my question is it has some sort of insulation in it the air blows through to transfer heat an was wandering what this is I need to replace it

Well that will smell good when you get air flow through it again. Acorns and other goodies too?
It's common for kids to lose plastic things that melt in there too.
Will the mineral wool alow the air from blower to travel through it an get forced out the front to heat the room
Single wall stoves radiate heat by radiation. The BTU output is dependent on the temperature of each square inch of surface area. So the size of the surface area and it’s temperature determine output.
The other way heat is transmitted to the heated area is by convection. That is when the firebox has an outer shell around it with an air space for the heated air to escape. The blower aids in removing more heat through convection.
A Fireplace Insert is a inner firebox with airspace between the inside and outside walls like you’re describing. They are made to install within a existing fireplace to extract the heat without radiating into the masonry mass.
Not sure what you have. You’re describing a stove that heats with convection. Is there a name on the front or on a tag? Does it have legs or was it made to sit directly on a hearth? There are different reasons for holding heat in a firebox for a cleaner burn, or extracting as much as possible.

Their is no name on it it sits on legs an heats by convection the blower is mounted on the back an it has a sliding door on each side to regulate the amount of heat coming out each side an it also comes out the front aswell I will take it apart again an make sure I can’t find a tag on the inside this is a old stove an worked great until the mice made it their home now with out the material inside to act as a heat transfer it is more or less scrap metal
