Hello Everyone!
What a wonderful community you have here. I discovered my interest in wood heat not long after my wife and I purchased our 1st home last summer. The fireplace had an insert, which I initially wanted removed. I am sure glad I let my wife persuade me to try it for the winter!
I have tried to do some investigation on this stove, but with no luck. I cant imagine it being anything special, but for now it is what we have. I am hoping someone is able to give me any information on it.
However, that is not the reason I created an account, and made this thread. The stove's door has I believe to mica glass in it, but an extremely large piece. before I had taken the door apart, I assumed there were several smaller pieces that could be replaced individually. The glass is falling apart, and if it was not for the multiple layers, there would be a hole in the door.
Replacing this with a piece of mica glass of this size would be very costly I imagine, and I was curious if anyone had any suggestions. Could I put a piece of glass in the door instead of the mica? Is this some other material altogether?
I really appreciate any clarity anyone is able to bring.
