Hey guys,
I bought a Buck Stove on Craig's List and I am hoping it can go in my prefab fireplace. Now, I'm letting you know up front I know next to nothing about this. I've asked some fireplace retailers about installing an insert, but they all want me to buy something from them for $6,000.
I've been told I need to check and see if my prefab can take an insert. I can't find any brand or marking on it though. I do know that it is original in the home and the home was built in 1986.
Here are some pictures of my insert and fireplace. Please let me know what I need to do to get the stove in the insert.![Buck Stove in prefab questions Buck Stove in prefab questions](https://www.hearth.com/talk/data/attachments/91/91967-e0d4a07e790bf89b2016ebed96d4b04d.jpg)
