Hearthstone 1

Looking at a Hearthstone 1 on craigslist, waiting for a call back. Does anyone know anything about this model? Have a serial if that will do us anything.

Main concern is chimney size.

 

Is that the big bastard? If so, it is suppose to be a hell of a heater. Equivalent to the Equinox. Not as efficient, but it is a big box with good burn times considering the age of the stove.

If it is the same stove I am thinking of.

 

The person who posted the link said it was 4 cubic feet. So year, big. How old would it be?

 

I believe it was produced in the 80s.

 

Any idea on the chimney size?

 

Pretty sure it requires an 8" liner.

 

Before purchasing, I'd look for some first hand reviews of the stove. I never owned one. Make sure you know what it will do so you aren't let down.

 

Wow that's a big firebox

 

Google on "hearthstone model H-I" and sort through the responses. I didn't see a lot, but there is a rebuild thread from 2009 out there, as well as Hearthstone's parts list for the stove.

 

Found enough to confirm this is an 8" flue, so I won't be getting it.
