My home is about 25 years old and it has a factory fireplace in it. The id plate says it is a Standex "woodside" zero clearance fireplace, model # W36. I am trying to find information about it on the web and can't find anything. It is made by Standex Energy Systems of Detroit Lakes, Michigan.
We have never used this fireplace in the 8 years we have been in this house. Right now, it has a gas log set installed in it, and I want to take that out so I can burn wood in it, but I would like to learn more about this fp before I light a fire in it.
I have found zilch on the internet about Standex Energy Systems. Standex.com seems like it may be a parent company but their website doesn't mention fireplaces at all.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
