It is a coal burning laundry stove.

It looks like that is a water jacket for heating water.

Thanks for the info, is it safe to burn wood in ? I just read that it may have to be lined ? what ever that means.

Possibly that depends on the condition of the stove and condition of the chimney as well as hearth and clearances. It will burn through wood really fast though

It looks like a coal laundry stove. I pulled mine apart and inspected it and reassembled it. My stove is a SUN coal burner. Since mine is used outdoors, since I didn't have a connector,I just oblonged the pipe and secured it with a screw. I don't know how long that will last so when I get a chance I'm going to order the correct connector.
