HearthStone Clydesdale II Wood Insert

This insert is specifically engineered for installation into existing masonry fireplaces. Before purchasing, you will need to measure your fireplace opening to ensure it meets the manufacturer's minimum clearance and size requirements for a proper fit.

The hybrid system combines catalytic and non-catalytic combustion to maximize efficiency. It burns wood more completely, which results in longer burn times, cleaner emissions, and more consistent heat output compared to traditional wood-burning units.

The stone panels act as a thermal mass, absorbing heat while the fire is burning and radiating it back into the room long after the flames have died down. This provides a more steady, even warmth rather than the rapid spikes and drops in temperature common with all-metal inserts.

While the dual blowers are powerful enough to circulate heat throughout a large space, they operate at a moderate volume. Most users find the sound comparable to a standard HVAC vent or a quiet fan, which is generally unobtrusive in a living room setting.

No, the Clydesdale II does not include a remote control. It features an integrated thermostat switch to control the blower speed, allowing you to manually adjust the airflow to suit your heating needs.

The catalytic combustor is a key component for efficiency and will eventually require cleaning or replacement depending on your usage. HearthStone designed the unit for straightforward maintenance, making the combustor and other wear parts like gaskets and stone panels accessible for routine upkeep.
