He said you can literally crawl and lay down inside the firebox. Look at the size of that door. Any idea on what this thing is? The door is homemade but not sure if the whole thing is.

That's my old apartment.
 
The sad part is the previous owner told him he'd "fill it" twice a day. If "fill it" means filling it close to capacity, that's a boatload of wood.
 
Maybe it’s a crematorium!

If he filled it twice a day, I sure hope it is not a crematorium....
Maybe a home-made pallet burner.
