I purchaed a stove second hand, it has no identifying markings anyware, the stove has a fully grated bottom with a pull/push action that opens up to the ash pan and 2 screw air vents on the fire box door. Its just a little smaller then a kitchen stove. Any help would be great
 
A coal stove's grated bottom usually has shaker grates. If it has a fixed grate it may be a wood stove. Pictures would help.
 
i have now way if taking a good picture, its really just a large box, 1/2 or 3/4 steel with cast iron grates in the bottom, the grates in the bottom are more of a push closed and pull open type, no hopper but a swinging smoke shield behind the door
