They are the same stoves except that the models with the higher number is the larger stove. If you can get a Florence Hot Blast in good condition. Buy it. They are among the most efficient stoves ever made for Bituminous Coal.

Didn't buy it. Functionally it was complete with all the fire ring and that, but cosmetically it was missing alot. It probably wouldn't have mattered since it would be going in the basement. In hindsight wish I did but I already have a round oak with all the fire ring parts and just found the missing trim rings for it. I also got all three doors, door frame,firepot, top bell and chimney adapter for $50. These are spares. Hopefully it will perform as well as the Florence. I'm 15 miles from a bituminous coal mine and itching to try it.
Btw the door frame (spare one) is still riveted to the rusted out barrel. What's the best way to remove those without damaging the door frame?

If it's rivets, grind the peened back sides off, so that you don't mark up the cast iron frame face and then drive them out with a pin punch. Or, carefully center punch the rivet heads and drill them out.
