Now that hearth looks a bit short, maybe eight inches to wood trim ? Just kidding, I guess we should have hung out a while and we could of warmed up a bit in front of the cozy fire. Very nice job on that block off plate, it worked better than some of the factory made ones. It was nice to meet, you enjoy your new insert.

lol.... I didn’t let you down with the pics? hey!!! great job!!!!!
heres one for you keeping your identity secret!!!
thanks again!!!
ps until i get the material to extend the hearth i am taking off the wood trim; it will still be short but hey it will be brick so a non-combustible:)
That’s a picture perfect install iceman. And just in time for the cold weather. Burn baby burn.
Thanks a lot.. i did a lot of reasearch on this site and went in to the install feeling confident and ready for my installer ... as it turned out i didn’t have to point out a thing he knew it all… then i found out he is also a member here!!! what a small world!
the picture on the roof is my installer and his son ... they did a wonderful job!!!
now maybe i can offically join that “summit Crue” over in the other thread… lol
Congrats Iceman!!!!! Looks beautiful, and excellent install by your installer.
You WILL love that Summit. The list of Summit owners is growing at a fairly good rate. There is a reason for that.
Not to say there isn’t other quality stoves & inserts out there. Now get to know her, and by next year you will get even longer burn times and know her like the back of your hand. This year will be a learn & burn year. Did you adjust the door?
Looking good. We will be sending you out your Summit secret decoder ring and Beast burner package. Learn the secret Summit handshake also .
Hope your installer comes out of the closet and jumps in to the conversation. That’s a nice install. Ya’ll should be proud.
PS: Damn, that’s a big chimney.
maybe he will jump in and make a comment about my chimney this time.. lol
he has posted here… read back a few and you can tell who he is…
i have her running right now today i will push her!!
secondary burn is beautiful..wife loves it!!! TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!
now we can talk about one for the basement!!

no i didn’t adjust the door ... what should i do??
When your fire is out and the stove is at room temperature, close the door on a $20 dollar bill and tug, repeating this step all the way around the perimeter of the door. PE’s new low-compression gasket should grip the bill, and offer a bit of resistance to your tug. If the grip on the bill feels loose at any point, tap lightly on the door catch (just outside the door opening on the handle side) with a hammer and retest, repeating until you have a firm seal all the way around the perimeter. If you tap too hard and the door handle won’t engage, pry the catch back out a bit.
Once your door is properly adjusted, put the $20 in an envelope, and address to:

Nice stove. Hell-of-a break-in fire! And I do remember that “day the install is finished and first fire” feeling. I may have to buy a summit for my upstairs fireplace, just to experience the whole thing again myself…
But then… that would mean chopping twice the wood here in the heart of the ‘burbs. Not such a good feeling…

I wonder if all these Summits are contributing to global warming? 
Looking good man.
