Yeah. So far so good. It’s not an insert though. It’s a built in fireplace. Really I think the insert, fireplace and stove are all the same engine in a different car. The blower is a tic loud on high but is much quieter once I throttle it back little.
The draft controls are nice. The auto combustion timer is nice to set and forget. The firebox is a much shorter north to south then East west. Maybe only 12” deep but 22” wide. So I cut some of my wood in half to load N/S just to get things going and get a bed of coals. Then fill it up with a E/W normal as length wood. I haven’t had a fill and see how long I get heat out.
