Basic information?

I was looking for any information about my wood burning fireplace in my new home. Cannot find rating plate anywhere on it! It's in perfect working condition, i would just like to know a little more. Thanks in advance!

If you want a heater, just go ahead and replace it. Even if it has a baffle in it, it is not going to be close to a wood stove in terms of heat output.

GIS says it's a lamp, if that helps.

It's one of my favorite features because of it's location. Its located in the sunroom of my house, so it's not a huge area to heat. We are thinking of getting a heat reclaimer to put off some more heat since the area is small. Just cant find any info whatsoever on it

Do not ever install a heat reclaimer on anything. They are absolutely one of the worst possible things you can add to a heating system

I am surprised they still sell those things!

Yes absolutely horrible products.

Yea those heat reclaimers just cool your flue which invites creosote to form. I tried explaining this to a buddy i work with. His comeback..."its in my shop chimney not my house." That makes it much safer apparently lol

Thank you for the guidance!! Might just end up getting a more modern replacement!

This might be a Malm fireplace. They are still sold, but I didn't see your particular configuration. Definitely do not put anything on the chimney for heat recovery. Some Malm's have a special stove pipe connector and pull combustion air through it.
