Anyone no what brand stove this is.

Hey everyone I was offered the stove for free but I’m not able to see it in person.It’s definitely an older wooden Insert just not sure if it’s worth the trip to inspect it. Any idea what brand it is and if it’s worth doing a rebuild on if it’s needed. Gasket cleaning painting etc.

I think it might be an older Vermont Castings insert.

looks like a vermont casting winter warm or winter warm 2 I have not heard anything good about them

Those inserts have single doors. It is a Vermont Castings 0044 fireplace insert, internally designed a little like the first Defiant. They just called it FirePlace Insert. Made in the early 1980s with a simpler design than the WinterWarm.

I have one of these and got the manual from VC. It is attached, hope it helps someone. Our power cord to run the fans disappeared with previous owners and haven't been able to find a new one. sigh..

Can you post a close up of the cord's receptacle on the insert? It may be a standard type like a computer power cord.

Here it is.. looks more like an old Nesco roaster plug to us, but nothing like things we have seen recently.. Of course, that's what 45 yrs old will get you.

You're right, it does! The plug could be removed and the blower direct wired with a cord. Or, maybe the plug could be replaced with a standard computer cord plug socket.
