Shop Stove Help Needed

We just bought a place that has a corn/pellet stove in one garage. The only thing we can find on it the name "American Harvest." It is 24" wide, 47-1/2" tall and 31-1/2" deep. Does anyone have experience with these and could help determine the model number? We also will be needing an owner's manual once we come up with a model number. Weather is going to be getting colder so we have a tractor or two to restore over the winter.
 
Google American Harvest and you will find different model numbers of that stove 3960 seems a popular sized one. There is different websites concerning using pellet stoves and corn stoves.
Hearth.com, The firewood hoarder, and I Burn Corn.com if it ever gets going again.
Everybody has their favorite brand for various reasons but people in these forums will tell you the good and bad points.
One thing to consider is a lot of ins companies won't allow you to use a corn-pellet stove in a garage because of possible flammable fumes. This is why you see over head heat or in floor heat in a lot of shops.
 
I have the US stove American harvest, burns corn and wood pellets. I do not burn corn anymore, only pellets. Keeps the house warm. My model number is 6041 I think. You can download the manual off the US stove website. The manual comes in handy when buying replacemnt parts.
 
I believe this model is a 6100.

In my neck of the woods any kind of heater with open flames must be installed 18" above the floor where there could be gasloine fumes. That is the building code. Most things like gasoline fumes will set at ground level and to a certain extent so will natural gas in low concentrations. My rule of thumb is that before you fire the heater up do the sniff test. Walk aroung the shop and see if you smell anything. Personally if you are going to have anything in your that burns gasoline I would raise that heater up 18".

That looks like what we have. Only ours does not have the fire in it yet. Thanks for the reply and the picture.
 
Natural gas is lighter than air so it rises Propane an the other hand is heavier and will collect in low areas. That is one of the things that makes NG somewhat safer than LPG.
