That brown sheet metal you see on the outside is just a cover/shell. The inner part is made of thick plate steel.

Zoolilba I got angry for you having to spend energy responding to that person lol . Hopefully you have a decent day and don't let that posters negative vibe get to you.

This could very well be true, but whats the point of the filter on the front?

It's a grate/expanded metal for heat disbursement, so you don't melt your palm if you touch it.

I grew up with these, it is a wood stove. Look up Ashley Wood stoves - they are still made today, and just as ugly as they were in the 70s and 80s.
