    Clydesdale II thermometer pointer stuck

    Hi. First winter using this and somewhat of a nube. I discovered that the gauge needle Is being prevented from moving further to the right because it is hitting the top wall. Not enough clearance. So I have no idea if the fireplace is getting too hot or not. Anyone ever encounter this? Not sure...

    Hearthstone Clydesdale 8492 - I messed up. HALP!!

    Hey Guys … New owner here. It was getting pretty chilly Friday night here so I was loading the Clydesdale 8492 up pretty good with a few beers in me. I cracked one of the baffle panels. My dealer never mentioned them so I thought everything on the inside was refractory stone, not...

    Hearthstone Clydesdale 8492 Review After 2 Months

    Hi, everyone. I'm new to this forum but have been checking it out for the last 10 years when I need advice. We finally had a Hearthstone Clydesdale installed about two months ago after a four month wait. We have had a Hearthstone Equinox for over a decade and love it, but we have mixed feelings...

    Hi there, new Hearthstone Clydesdale user here! Had some issues last night with the stove running away more than expected and might need a replacement gasket but tightened up the door handle spring and we're doing better on the "dollar bill test." We noticed tonight though, that there's an...

    First time: Installing ceramic fiber board insulation in firebox

    Installer will be arriving in a few weeks to install a new Hearthstone Clydesdale II fireplace insert in our antique house here in southeast Massachusetts. In prepping the firebox, besides cleaning it out, I decided it would be a nice detail to add 1/2" ceramic fiber board insulation to the...

    Gasket length

    Have a Clydesdale 8491 that needs the door gasket gasket replaced. Notice that the Clydesdale gasket kit comes with a 10.5' 1/2" rope. Kit is pricey though. Will a Rutland 7' rope be long enough? Rough measure of the door/ gasket area seems to be about 78".

    Understanding Insert temperature

    Have a Clydesdale insert. Second season using it and enjoy it quite a bit. Am still trying to understand the idea of not overfiring the insert. So have a temp gauge just behind the grate. Also have IR gun. Hearthstone mentions not to regularly go above 600. I can get there pretty quickly and can...

    Hearthstone Clydesdale

    Hey all, Just bought a new house over the summer up in New England and it comes with a Hearthstone Clydesdale insert. I've read a ton about running them, but I had a question for anyone more familiar with an EPA stove (my first time running something like this). Manual says not to "regularly...

    Hearthstone Clydesdale or BK Princess?

    Hi all, I've narrowed my search for an insert to either the Clydesdale or the Princess. I've called around to several nearby retailers and they are both similarly priced. I've done a general spec comparison but I'd love to hear some feedback on advantages/disadvantages of these stoves. Of...
