Identifying Fireplace in New House

[Jeff Lawson]

Hey all:

I previously spent my time lurking in the Pellet Mill. We moved this summer and I now have a fireplace.

Can you help me identify what I have and maybe some tips for how to use efficiently? Our only other heat source is electric baseboard heaters.

The house was built in 1977. I'm quite certain the fireplace is original as they didn't do any other upgrades to the home.

Thanks in advance.

Jeff

Congrats on the new place. I am no help with ID'ing your fireplace but I'd be keeping a real close eye on temps around there and be cautious of having all the Christmas stuff to close until you identify the stove and measure your clearances. Looks tight to me with the wood trim even but I'm no expert or installer. Just a homeowner enthusiast.

Best of luck with your new home.

I understand. It is surprisingly cool everywhere around, even when burning a hot fire. But hot air does come out those top vents. That's kind of what I'm trying to figure out. Thanks for the reply.

Hard to ID. There usually is a mfg. ID tag in the doorframe area. Fireplaces like this are not very efficient and not meant for 24/7 burning. Close the glass doors only after the fire has died down.
