Just bought a house with a coal stove. I can’t find any identification on it. Can someone help me identify it? Thanks

I noticed that Keystoker had a Hearth model also.
Now with additional pictures the stove in question shows the stoker mechanism being side mounted. That may help to determine its origins.
This looks very similar:

Appears that it could be an Alaska Kast Console or Keystoker.

Both are similar but what I'm not seeing is ones with same ash pan door.
Others will be better able to advise you on this as I'm not familiar with maintenance for inserts but what I know for sure is you need to clean the connector pipes for the flue which is probably going to require that you move it forward to get to them. This is standard maintenance at least once a year typically performed at this time of the year.... right into the fire so to speak.
The reason I'm mentioning this now is because you'll probably find the manufacturer information on the back of it to positively identify it.
