I recently got a used Aurora woodburning insert and I can find no information on it :wall: surely someone knows who made these stoves?:confused:

Thanks

Do a Google search for "Aurora wood burning insert" (without quotes) It seams that your stove may be from the UK. I got quite a few hits but not knowing what your stove looks like I can only guess.

I also got a hit from another DIY forum thread: http://forum.doityourself.com/fireplaces-heating-stoves-flues-chimneys/375094-wood-burning-insert-modification.html
It has an address for another Aurora stove manufacture in Iowa.

Thanks for the reply! I got the bad news today. Aurora Stoves were built in Kentucky and the company went out of business 22 years ago, so no manuals are available :wall:

I am looking for info on clearances, etc., for my fireplace and insert. Think I might have to start from scratch, whatever that may be. I have a nice insert that I may or may not be able to use.
