Hampton H35 (used, thoughts)

[Bravehrt3]

I recently but a used Hampton HI300 wood fireplace insert for a great deal, when I went to pick it up I was also shown a used Hampton H35 they were also selling. I offered them $300 and they agreed. Here's the problem, they are new owners buying the house so they know nothing about the stove. It was disconnected when a new floor was being installed. It is currently converted to propane. Which I would need to convert back into gas. Did I get a good deal ? And are these stoves reliable and problem free? What are some things I should be looking at that might need to be replaced? From my studying it looks like it is 2006-2009 model due to the vents on top of the stove. Is there usually a serial number somewhere on the stove? It did not come with a manual. But I can get the old manuals on regency hamptons web site. It's going to be installed in my finished basement in an interior chimney. It's the black cast iron finish with the fan

That's a good price for a nice looking unit. You should be able to find the parts you need to convert back to NG at your local Regency dealer's parts dept. You'll need an NG regulator, Pilot orifice & Burner orifice. Air shutter will need to be adjusted, & the manual should have that setting under "Aeration." The unit originally comes with a rating plate, that should either be a sticker attached to the rear of the unit or on an aluminum plate that is chained to it. That plate with have the model & serial number & the manufacture date on it.

I'll look when I get home, but when I picked it up I looked all over for a label and could not find one.
