So I bought a used (3 years old ) hearthstone hearitage in excellent cond. for $ 1000.00. One if the wood door handles is missing but that's it. Can anyone with expeariance with this stove walk me through it, I have gone through all revews and posts on this stove but I don't have a manual .
 
Congrats, that sounds like a steal. Here is the manual: (broken link removed to http://www.hearthstonestoves.com/assets/files/document_library/Heritage+8021+Tall+Foot+Cas+09-22-13.pdf)
Can you be more specific about what you need help with?
 
Those black wood/plastic handles are easily replaced.
 
It's a 8022 and I need to get just one wood handle . I plan on using the side door because our Orley had one. I found replacement door pins that are softer at the local building supply store , steel not hardined. This one is brown enamel with the blower kit. It has one scratch in the stone but that's all the damage I can see on both inside and outside. I'm trying to figure out a new hearth and I'm stumped . I would like slate but the people at the stove store have a blank look and said the stove manufacture would make it.
 
What is under the Orley now?

There are several nice premade hearth pads if you want to buy one. Yoder Hearth Classics are good looking. Some have slate tops. Or make it yourself. As long as the hearth meets or exceeds the stove mfg. requirements you are fine with DIY. There are several examples here. Search on hearth pad.
 
It's a big precast pad that won't work for the Hearthstone because it has a raised edge all around it . The Hearthstone has a larger base than the Orley. I need 67x40 inch.
 
The heritage had very high hearth R-value requirements when I installed mine 7 or so years ago. It required some serious trickery with air gaps and insulative layers. Not just slate. Even if the current models only require ember protection this stove is not new so you need to meet the requirements that were in effect when your stove was made.
 
Yea, you need to read the manual for the 8022 but I think the long leg 21s and 22s are ember only. The ash pan on the short leg 21s is only about 1.5 inches off the floor so I can see why there is an R value requirement on it... I found a new old stock 21 that I am putting in my basement install and will have to remove some parquet and replace it with stone to satisfy the requirement. I figure it will be easier to pop the parquet out and replace with non combustible than cover up with the R value required.

A 3 year old enamel heritage for $1,000 does seem like a killer deal!
 
Oops, I think the stove is a 8021 not a 8022. The local store has the same stove and shows it as a 8022 but the pics in the manual looks to be a 8021 as I had thought . I am going to make a hearth pad for it as soon as I find stone I like, will do the wall also.
 
There should be an UL-tag in the back that will have the model# on it.
 
Smaller, the heritage loves 4-5" splits.

Correct. Tall foot 8021's (serial # 30000 +) require ember protection only. Earlier models required a hearth with a R 1.2 insulation value.

Congrats on the stove @mrpee!
