I worked on a guys riding mower up the road and his neighbor has this thing sitting in his back yard. It's all rusty but looks interesting. I googled it and found some info.
If I remember right they are a catalytic stove from the late 80s into the early 90's. I don't know much more about them. Here is a link to the cat http://www.inandoutlifestyles.com/trvwostcaco.html
