Country Flame 100

Hi all.
Bought a house a couple of years ago that came with the fireplace insert. Ran it some last year but actually trying to determine its benefits this year vs my all electric heat pump system (ugh). I've got the manual or some copied pages at least but can't find anything online about it.I know it's an old one (1990 ?) but it seems to work fine. Did a thorough cleaning a couple of weeks ago that I know hadn't been done since install . I would like to upgrade but first need to work out if pellets vs heat pump is hands down in favor of time pellets. If it's only marginal then the upgrade cost might be debatable.

So long story short, anyone have/had this unit? Know of where to get parts if needed? Curious if it's possible to switch it to digital/thermostat controlled. Would like to fabricate an additional hopper for it eventually - any tips/gotchas?
Thanks!

Is that an American Energy Systems pellet stove? http://www.americanenergysystems.com/flex-fuel-stoves.cfm

Maybe? In all my research the Rascal has been the closest I have found at least in physical similarities.

I would bet its the CF Harvestor with the side windows

You're right - I said Rascal but Harvestor is what I meant to say. Any way to tell if the 100 and Harvest or parts are interchangeable? Noticed today that the pot is showing some cracks in the seams.

Take some pictures with measurements and drop them a line. They are not way out of line like some other manufacture. Or take to a welding shop and have them weld up the cracks with some stainless.
