Hello folks,
We have a 1989 vintage Timberland 'Fireplace Heat Exchanger' model RM36 manufactured by Messer Manufacturing in Windom, MN. It is an attractive install, but I don't believe it was ever intended to supply much of the heat to our home. I would like to change that, and retrofit this unit with something more efficient. The masonry is built around the unit, so I am looking for ideas that don't involve drastic stonework. And, being a corner unit presents it's own challenges. The door frames are attached separately, so they are easily removed, but beyond that I would love any thoughts.
