This stove is a Round Oak "Double Burner" R-180. It was made by The Estate of P.D. Beckwith company sometime in the early to mid 1910s. It uses 7 inch (I mistakenly said 8" in the video) pipe with an oval-shaped fitting to the stove. I do believe that the "180" in the model name means that this has an 18" pot diameter.
Useful identifying information about these stoves (from the Dowagiac Museum):

A couple of photos of an R-180 model stove exist here, but note how it isn't quite the same:

Dowagiac is apparently pronounced "Doe-Wah-Jack".
