Hi All,

I can't seem to find any information about this heater on the internet and was hoping someone here would know a little bit about it.

Overall the heater is in good condition and has a feature I haven't seen before where half of the top baffle swings open when the door is opened .

The fire bricks on the side walls don't look right and there's metal tabs just above them which are set at a different depth (shallow) compared to the tabs on the rear . I can't make out what the side tabs are for whereas the rear tabs are deep enough to hold fire bricks in place. I would like to know how to use these side tabs and also how the side fire bricks are supposed to sit.

I would also like to know how to ID if I have the 500 or the 700 series?

Cheers
Tony

Hey turbopsi,
Did you end up finding any information on your Schooner fireplace? I have one too and I was wondering what you managed to dig up.

If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated
