[Hearth.com] Picked up another Fisher XL
 
This one is a rear vent with polished front and also has 2 plate warmers.

It was original to the house and heated it from the late 70’s early 80’s until a few years ago when the new owner went to pellets.

It does need a rear ball for the leg as they broke it off moving it

I will probably replace my current top vent XL with this one

Any benefit to rear vent vs top vent?
 
Top vent usually drafts a lil easier, especially on cold starts, so if you have any issues there, you might reconsider.
