Greetings to the group! (Wow, there's loads of great information posted in here!)

I recently purchased a new, old stock Wiseway GW1949 from someone who had it sitting in storage for a number of years. Its the older model without the view port glass. Being unsure of its history, I'm trying to identify the age of the unit. 

I see the info plate on the back of the stove but none of the month/year boxes have any markings or scratches. And the years only go up to 2014. The serial number is '182'. That seems to be the only piece of identification on the whole unit. 

Can anyone advise how to determine the age of one of these stoves with just the serial number?

Thanks in advance!

I think since it doesn’t have the glass it’s the 2nd gen, unless the angle of the pellet shute is low. I think those were two things that changed at the same time. This makes it around 2013. This is considering my having chatted to Gary Wiseman, the invented of the stove quite a bit before he sold the design. At the time, I was a key person with whom to chat with because I was one of the first people to have one so far north and which was on 24/7 for months at a time.
