I ran across this. I'm thinking it's not an XL.

Yes, I'm the one who saw it listed as a Papa a month ago. I contacted them and left them know what they had by measurements conforming to the brochure attached below;

Grandpa III (arched top) would be 30" wide compared to the huge 34 1/2 width of this one.

The picture of the stove with doors open shows the arched opening of an XL, unlike all other Fishers that have a horizontal straight opening across the top no matter which doors are used.
The "Sun" doors that can't be mistaken for anything but an XL do not use the normal 1 inch channel iron door seal.

Same XL below with open doors;



The XL is also the only model requiring an arched screen.

Grandpa difference shown below; (this one was unfired in Maryland Dec. 2012)



Looking through my XL folder, I found this pair of doors that sold for $60 on eBay back in Dec. 2012;
