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.

Having been the Plant Manager when Woodside was made in Medina, OH. I can only
tell you, this. Being it is gas, you would need to be sure there is a Class
double wall vent pipe installed. If it is only a class B Vent you can only use
gas and no solid fuel. Does this help.?

It's "Type B" not "Class B" but I'll let it slide since you said you
were management.

Do you REALLY think that "byoung" has been hanging around *eleven years*
for your response?

homeownersFLub strikes again. That forum needs a bright red popup that
says "Read The Dates!"

Wow WaltK;
Great to find you. I need to extend a chimney (3-wall, 13") about 10-12 feet due to new construction adjacent. Do you know if perhaps there is a crossover to another maker's pipe or maybe someone has a stash?
