If you pull the blower unit straight out from the front, there should be a rating plate on the face of the insert.

It kinda of looks like a buckstove brand. what do I know, just a newbie.

 

[Sons924]

what is your price range? whether or not you need a permit depends on your local laws.

Regency insert?

Regency insert?

Thanks I think you are right.

Might be an older Regency, the newer ones have the air grates down the sides and the blower housing is a little more angled. Looks somewhat like a PE insert my neighbour had a couple of years ago.

Like Daksy said, pull out the blower and look for the plate.

Regency was also my first thought. Otherwise, maybe an older Avalon model?

I would try to find a Lopi or an Avalon. Easiest to service and good parts availability. Also 6" outlet is cheaper for chimney liner.

Thanks Ed, I was looking at getting a lopi freedom, but hard to find used.

I agree they're scarce. That's a clue...
