Active since 1995, Hearth.com is THE place on the internet for free information and advice about wood stoves, pellet stoves and other energy saving equipment.
We strive to provide opinions, articles, discussions and history related to Hearth Products and in a more general sense, energy issues.
We promote the EFFICIENT, RESPONSIBLE, CLEAN and SAFE use of all fuels, whether renewable or fossil.
Our home also came with this unit in the basement. It's set up to provide heat into the return air of the HVAC. I have not found any information on this stove. Any assistance would be appreciated.
The hood assembly definitely looks homebrewed and the adaptation to wood heating is now against mechanical code. The return needs to be at least 10 ft away from the stove.
Sounds like we need to pull this one out and replace with a new(er) stove. This dinosaur will go well out in the workshop. Hope putting in a new flue doesn't become a major nightmare...
