That rib-walled firepot, plus the loading door secondary damper being so much larger than the primary damper in the ash door, has me wondering if it's a bit coal stove ???

I know nothing about it. I got it for free and had to dig most of it out of the ground. It does have a shaker on it. There are actually 2 one is really big and the other is really small

Doesn't look unlivable to me, I like old houses. Looks similar to a house of a friend in Florida (NY). In the basement was a perfect Combustioneer. I arrived to late to save it as the husband was ripping it to pieces. Now they have a wood stove and freeze their a$$e$ off every winter. Sometimes doing missionary work in the colonies is hard. :D Watch that hearth, perhaps you need to build it up a bit or at least get an Imperial fireboard (UL listed) from TSC. A brick hearth would be better. It looks like upstate NY. Where are you, let us know. As a revered poster said, I promise we won't steal ya. Are you planning to burn bituminous coal or anthracite. Are you planning a refractory lining for the stove? To get started in life you need 4 walls, a non leaking roof and a big honkin' coal stove and a pure water source. Love the wood on the floor, you gotta finish that stuff. So you should be good for a few years. Everything else is optional. That TV can be laid flat and makes a good card table, there is nothing to watch trust me. Not the best aerial placement.

OK, another topic here is clearance to combustibles. You may be a little to close to that wall, we have to work on that one. Again an Imperial fire board, held one inch from the wall with TSC ceramic electric fence insulators may be a start. Members will pour in to help. Most are busy with their own problems.

Welcome to the board.

In your interior photo, the stove pipe enters into the wall with what looks like a sheetrock enclosed chaseway for more pipe. Is the chimney pipe actually running "inside" that chaseway, and entering along interior walls above, or does it exit to the outside on the 1st floor? I'm just curious why the pipe is boxed in downstairs, and not exposed.
By the way, your house has some nice character. I hope you continue to improve it. I don't have any info on your stove that you would benefit from, but I'm sure there are members here to help. It does look like it'll throw some heat. Good luck on your restoration.

It's actually concrete and the wedged part of it is plaster and behind the plaster are tongue and grooved 1×6 .
