I recently bought a house that came with small pedestal Regency wood stove that was manufactured in 1991. It is EPA certified to 1990 standards (manual here https://assets.regency-fire.com/get...0-499f-9fc1-0548cb3d91c2/R3-R7-R9-manual.aspx). The stove has not been used for several years and seems like it was not well maintained. It has some rust and the firebricks have disintegrated. I will try to attach some photos to show its general condition. (also planning on re-doing the flooring and setting it up to have proper clearances and ember pad etc).
I really like the idea of wood heat and would like to repair and maintain the stove, but I want to get a general impression of whether it's worth doing so before I go down that path. It seems like it would be a few hundred dollars to get the firebricks and baffles and a new stove pipe. I would also want to get it WETT certified for house insurance purposes. Is it realistic that I could clean and fix it up myself and then have a functional and insurable wood stove?
Any idea if these parts will work?:
