1979 Frontier "Enterprise" Wood Burning Stove

Hey Everyone:)
I am new to this community and need some major help! So all comments and answers are extremely needed and welcomed!!

I have recently purchased a beautiful 1979 Froniter "Enterprise" Wood Burning Stove. We are about to install, however we are running into MAJOR roadblocks! I cannot find the owners manual/instruction for this beauty:( It literally don't exist! And I need them to get it installed and inspected! I have done SO MUCH research! I know that entire story of how the stove came to be (Jake Jackson etc). I have the patent number and even an add from 1979 advertising the wood stove. But I can find nothing else on the subject! There is NO stamp or seal on the stove, nothing else except, "FRONTIER" and patent number on the front. There is "JS" on the bottom, which looks to be manually welded, like a signature. I am at a complete stand still:(

Can anyone point me in the right direction in finding this documentation??
Or any other information about the stove that could help me??

Most of us did start with wood, but when we realized the benefits of coal, we changed.

Yup, what Don said.

Your welcome to stick around if you like and learn why so many of us changed over to coal. But be warned, you might also. This forum is wall-to-wall with converts !

Your stove is probably not UL listed as it likely pre-dated that. There are many topics here related to non-UL stoves and using them as it comes up a lot with old coal stoves too. If your insurance company wont cover it, you may need to find another insurance company. As far as inspection, I don't know.
