My name is Evan It's my first time buying a house and inside of the office area there is a wood stove i think(still not sure if it is a stove or a furnace)
On the front it has Hearth cat, and on the inside it has what I think is W S F H C D I believe it is cast iron.

When I put two small logs in it it worked fine I went to the bathroom and came back and the chimney was glowing orange, i quickly got it back to normal and put out my small fire and have been sitting here for the past 30 min and i keep hearing crackling, does anyone have any suggestions?
 
This should not be burned in until inspected by a professional and certified sweep.
A picture of the stove would help with identifying it.
