Hello! I'm new here and just stumbled across these forums while researching how to replace my wood insert. I bought a quadrafire Classic bay 1200 insert used thinking I could just slide the old one out and slide the new one in.
The old wood stove looks like it was home made almost.. It performed very very poorly and that's the reason for me replacing it. It was likey built in 1978-1979 when he house was built. I got the wood stove removed but it looks like there is a sheet metal shell installed behind it. I will work on getting a picture posted for everyone to see what I'm talking about.
The other thing is, I thing the shell was installed when the brick installed around it. So I can't just pull it out.. I'd likely have to cut it out I'm guessing?
Pics will be posted in next post.
