Default Help identifying my wood furnace

I recently acquired a wood burner which I believe was made to be hooked up
to an existing duct system. I think it's only meant to supplement a gas
furnace. I'm planning on using it in my garage. The sticker with the
unit's information is mostly burned away. I'd like to know a little about
its specifications. The guy I bought it from said the brand was "Energy
Systems". I couldn't find any reference to this name while searching on the
web. Maybe he has the name wrong. Its outside dimensions are
20"W x 36"H x 29"D. It stands on four legs, without the legs it's only
24"H. It has a 14 x 14 door in the front with a round screw out damper disk
for combustion air. A 6" round flue hole is on the back and an 8" round
hole is on the top. On the bottom there is a 3 3/4" square hole with four
holes around it for screws. The bottom hole and the top hole direct room
air through a cavity around the firebox. My guess is that a blower is
supposed to mount on the bottom and blow warm air out the top hole. There
is a three piece cast iron grate on the inside. The outer shell is sheet
metal with cross breaks in it. The sides are painted green which looks to
be the original color. I'd like to identify this unit so I could find the
proper blower for it. I'd also like to know it's BTU rating and how much it
cost new. If anyone has any information I'd me much obliged. Thank You,

If it is a wood burner, the BTU's are the heating value of the wood being
burned, not the heater itself....


and how much it
cost new. If anyone has any information I'd me much obliged. Thank You,
