I have the Grandma Insert stove, and I was wondering if I could swap the doors for any other Fisher doors with glass. Would any other model have glass doors that fit? The insert I have is my avatar. I would love to see the fire, but I don't want to lose too much radiant heat by using the screen all the time. Thanks in advance!
 
No. The air comes in the intakes on your doors. Glass doors have no intake on them. They use side vents and adjustable slots under the doors for air wash over the glass to keep it clean.
