Like from Sears the dept store? Sorry I am not that familiar with different wood stove brands. Did you get it used? No install manual? Most wood stoves have a 6" flue collar and can use pretty much any listed Class A "all fuel" chimney system.
Is it this one by any chance?

It's the only one I've seen advertized as a "box" stove.

Welcome Patty. What is the Sears stove model number and part number?
Sounds like it might be an Ashley or maybe a Wonderwood. Here are some links to manuals if this is what the stove is:
Ashley - (broken link removed to http://www.usstove.com/cgi-bin/csvsearchProdindivid.pl?ID=144)
Wonderwood - (broken link removed to http://www.usstove.com/cgi-bin/csvsearchProdindivid.pl?ID=142)

it says sears on the front door, its old i am pretty sure. my neighbor said it needs gaskets and there is light showing on the seft side where the 2 sides meet. no manuel or instructions, i paid 200 for it and now i am depressed i really thought stoves were like a chiminea. it does look alot like the volgelang same shape and design but it does say sears. thanks all any more suggests would be appreciated. pattie
Pattie: Sears did sell wood stoves at one time about a month back when Homedepot was selling of winter stock to make room for spring inventory they sold EPA approved stoves for as little as $288 So far superior to what you have Infact you made more for what you have then if purchased new plain Vogelzang box stove is about $90 and you still have a dangereous to opperate pice of junk. Where do you live? from time to time some of us members rehab stoves and install them as part of an un official donor program. It is possible we may be able to help you out
we would need more details of your current chimney setup and figure out how to install a stove
As the donor program gains sucess, we hope to attract manufactures to donate stoves.

i live in northern new jersey pompton plains. i thought i could just put it on a outside wall . my chiminey is in the center of the house between my bathroom and hotwater heater kind of under the stairs. i have a cape cod. thanks so much it is very kind of donors to help if they can.
There's a Jotul Combifire #4 on eBay right now. No takers and it's only $100. It would make a great donor stove. Oceanport, NJ.

It doesn't sound like that stove is a good choice. You probably should have done some more research before making that purchase. If there is light showing through any of the seams of the stove, it probably needs to rebuilt, if it isn't actually damaged beyond repair.
Whatever you decide to do, we'll be happy to help you along the way. However, installing the stove in the house will require a full Class A insulated chimney or use of an existing flue that is not in use by any other appliances.
