Good morning, I'm new to this forum.

I have a Hearthstone Tribute wood burning stove. I bought it second hand and there was no paperwork with it. Is there a way to determine how old the stove is? Thanks.

Is there an information placard on the back? Mine (not a Hearthstone) has a metal plate with the stove's information, including the year it was manufactured, clearance diagrams, and more. Even the 80's Kent Tile Fire I used to have had this info.

However, I'm a new guy. You should check the back of the stove, then just ignore me if there's nothing there.

Thanks russb. The tag was there just as you suggested. As was the date of manufacture.

Well, now we need to know, how old is your baby?

I was manufactured in April of 2009. But because it is just a baby we are purchasing a new Hearthstone Castleton to better meet our heating needs.

That's amazing...at 5½ y/o you're posting here on Hearth.com. Gotta be a new record!

I saw that too, was giving the new guy a pass.

What can I say. I'm just a child prodigy who can't push the 't' hard enough. Thanks for the pass.
