Found this at a yard sale yesterday and could not resist! I've been wanting a patio stove for a long time, but could not afford the "collector" prices, and didn't want a fully restored one, since I am going to actually burn wood in it (gasp), and it is going to live outside (under cover when not in use, of course).
I know nothing about this stove, other than the "No. 21" that is stamped in the front, the number "W 21" stamped on the inside of the leg base, and there is also a large number "6" stamped on the bottom of the firebox directly below the words "Made in Korea" (outside, on the underbelly of the firebox). I just fell in love and had to bring it home. I probably paid too much ($130), with all the little things that are wrong with it, like the crack that someone attempted to weld in the lower back of the firebox), but it is perfect for what I wanted so I'm happy.
In the second photo, you can see that there is a removable screen that you can set in place in order to leave the front door open, but yet keep the fire and coals from hopping out. It has a large side door also, but I thought it was more important to show the front mostly. Where it is sitting now is just temporary, as we are still building the back patio area slowly but surely. Eventually there will be a hot tub out there, so we don't want to lay any concrete until we are sure where everything will end up.
If anyone knows anything about this stove, I'd love to have a little more history on it! It came with a few pieces that i cannot find "homes" for at all, so I am thinking they are parts that someone picked up thinking they would fit but then realized were to a different stove entirely. I figure I will just tuck them away somewhere, or maybe advertise them and see if anyone out there needs them to replace a broken part on their stove.
