I am trying to ID a wood burning insert. Got it for $20 and a school fundraiser auction maybe 15 years ago. It has no manufacturer markings on it anywhere, I've looked carefully multiple times. Only markings are two metal tags, one is a warning to avoid creosote fire and overheating, the other is a warning that it might be hot., and to see the nameplate. If it had a nameplate, I wouldn't be asking
Measures about 27" wide, 18" deep, 22" high. Made from plate steel, not cast. (edit - door is cast, rest is plate) Has firebrick inside on the bottom, and on the front between the door and the bottom.
It has a single door with glass panel, hinged on the left.
Air intake is set with a slider under the door. Air output is a full width rectangular opening along the top.There is a dual squirrel cage blower, a Dayton 4C826. There is no built in blower speed control,the wires to the blower end in a standard three prong plug. it came (to me) with a "POW-R PLUG III" motor speed control, which seems to be for ceiling fan speed control, but works ok with the Dayton blower.
Inside, top rear there is a metal box, which contains a bypass flapper connected to the rod that comes out the top right front of the stove. The opening on the front of this box is 9-3/4" wide by 3-3/4" high. There are two bolts sticking out form the front of it 13" apart, Those bolts must be there for a reason, seems like there is a part missing from the front of that box, perhaps a catalyst, perhaps just some baffle.
Haven't used it much, not pretty but it does OK. Always figured I should try to figure out what internal part is missing, finally getting around to doing that, with the goal of using it more
Thanks for any help
