Propane stove insert

Codeman,
I have been looking for a propane stove fireplace insert. I decided on one built by Travis Industries called an Avalon FX. To complicate matters I found one used for a FRACTION of the cost of new. This is at a Habitat for Humanity restore. The unit is at most 5 yrs. old and very clean looking. It doesn't have a blower like the newer ones (which are optional). What should I be cautious of in considering this? How can I look at it and tell? Are these units comparable to cooking stoves in their simplicity? Help! rookie female
