Re: schrader wood stove - 350
From the posted picture, there's no base and with the flue out the back, that was originally built as a fireplace insert. I was building those in the fall of 1979, and I suspect that one came from the shop I worked in. We shipped a lot of stoves to the NW. They are real heavy duty stoves, the top is 1/4" and the sides were 3/16" steel. Airtight all welded (man I must have run at least a mile of 7024 rod in that shop) firebrick lined. Cast aluminum doors which will expand when hot and seal that sucker up.
If anyone is interested it could easily be converted to a free standing stove, just get a 6" stove ring for the top, cut and patch the flue, a couple of 6" x 6" pipes for legs and a piece of 1/4" plate for a base and there you go.
