I had to look up that wood stove. I've personally never saw one like you've got there. I've got 2 wood stoves, 1 is a Wonderwood, other is an old boxwood stove. Here's what I found on yours. The Jotul 606 wood stove was originally designed by architect/designer Blakstad-Munthe-Kaas in 1942 in Norway, but was only imported to the states for a few years in the mid-70s.

I know if I wait till May I'll be dinner for those black flies and mosquitoes. Almost forgot to tell you I found an interesting channel on here called The Woodland Escape.
