Englander change there line up series to only Blue Ridge?

[kennyp2339]

Just out of shear boredom, I was searching around and noticed that Englander only seems to be selling under the Blue Ridge line, looks like the 32NC (which replaced the beloved NC 30 after 2020 regs) is now reworked and called the Blue Ridge 500 - looks like the same 3.5cu ft box, flat top with 4 re-burn tubes and a blower option. I kind of want to see one in person, check out the door, tube assembly and air adjustment; just to see the quality of it all.

I think the 32NC is history. The Blue Ridge 500 looks like a rebadging of the big SBI box which is different from the 32NC. Inside, it's almost, if not exactly, identical to the Drolet Escape 2100 with a different square door and door hinging and with the BR 500 lacking the convection deck.

The Osburn 3500 has the right-hinged arched door, C-cast baffle, and a different blower.

The Blue Ridge and Century lines are their big box store, bargain version of the current SBI stoves with the Drolet being mid-tier and Osburn/Enerzone being the top tier. Look at the Century FW3500 for a base model comparison.
