Hello! This is my first post here. I just bought my first home and I am VERY excited that I can now heat with wood, the only problem is I have no knowledge to do so! I have a country flame insert that has been cleaned and inspected with a new chimney liner. Anyhow I would like to figure out what model my insert is. The previous owners had no information on it so I don't know where to begin. I also don't know if my fire brick needs to be replaced some bricks have cracks, but I can't seem to pry them out without tearing them up even further. A friend has a similar model that has a 2-3 inch lip from the burning surface to the bottom ledge of the doors, mine does not. Is this normal? I suspect that the previous owners may have double stacked the bricks, but again can't confirm without destroying the brick. Lastly there is no ledge on top to put a kettle for humidity, any tips on alternate ways to humidify? Thank you for any and all help!
