In March I bought a small house on a local river, and now I’m about 3 miles from the lake. I like that as I’m into boating. But, the “new” house is a bit of a fixer upper so I have lots of work ahead of me. It has a fire place but I haven’t fired it up because there are some cracks in the upper flue tiles. Fireplace looks like a Heatillator type unit, but the tag on it says Malleable Iron Works. Model is Monarch. I never heard of the manufacturer. I plan to clean the fire box tomorrow and check for rust throughs, failed welds, and or whatever else I can see. If it looks decent I might have a SS liner installed and use it now and then, mostly on week ends. Neighbor told me it was installed around mid 80’s, so it’s not likely to be very efficient. And maybe not safe? Anyone ever heard of this manufacturer or know anything about the unit?
Thanks!!
