Looks like a really big bong.
 
do you have one? looks like a gasket nightmare
 
$2,400 way back then! Thats most of the down-payment for the new house I bought in '99! I'm sure that'd get you a good chunk of a good car then!

That's what it's listed for now July 26,2022. i think they were around $800 when they came out? It's listed on KSL classified. (Utah's version of craigslist). I just saw it when looking at other wood stoves.
 
Definitely seems to be a unique stove! I'd wonder how clean all that glass stays in actual use? ...and how easy it is to clean if it gets dirty?

Found a bit more info in a search:

It looks like keeping the glass clean would be impossible and the 90% efficiency claims are dubious. 1.5 cu ft baking oven on the side is nice. I wonder how the slats of glass are sealed between each other?

Good points - though conversely, this could be a good stove for those close floor spaces as it "...can be installed directly on a carpet..." [!!!]
Looks like it doubles as a baby warmer.
 
There was one of these for sale somewher online in the past few years. It was a brand new, never fired stove.

Idk, I think its a cool looking stove. And I can bake brownies while I heat the house haha
