Does anyone out there have any information about HS Tarm 502

I just bought a house that came with a HS Tarm 502. I am currently firing it on oil and would like to burn some wood in it. I don't know anything about how the wood furnace part is supposed to look like, I think that the previous owner may have blocked up the back of the wood burning area. I might also be missing a grate. Any information would be helpful, especially a picture of how the inside should look. thanks

Make sure the target for the oil gun is in good shape, they have a piece of refractory to protect it. If is damaged or broken, the flame can eat the baffle. With rocking grates, that puppy can burn anthracite.
A few members here have 502 TARMs.
