I was just thumbing through Jotul's website and noticed they have a newer, more compact woodburning insert for those with smaller fireplaces. It's called the C350 Winterport and it appears to be much lighter in weight compared to the Kennebec insert (272lbs. vs. 450lbs.), but still has the classic Jotul design. You may want to check it out if you're in the market. I'm guessing smaller size, and lighter weight, means lower price...

I just looked. They are gonna sell a bunch of those puppies.
If you look at the manual for it the shipping weight is 425 pounds. That is one hell of a pallet.

Dammit! Now I have to go out and build a second fireplace!
Nice insert. I thought they were a little light with just one offering in the insert market, this will certainly clear that up.

(currently sitting in front of the Kennebec, basking in the 78 degree heat... getting a little toooo warm in here, maybe I need a smaller Jotul insert)

just when I thought I had my insert decision made Jotul has to mess it all up! Although, I'm thinking it's a little too small for my needs, but it sure is purty!

I did a ton of research and bought the C450 two weeks ago and it arrived two days ago but it's snowing and I can't get there to pick it up. Yes the C450 is heavier than the 350....the C450 weighs 450 pounds.....note the irony...LOL....
Anyway, I saw my C450 at the dealers and while it does weigh about 450 pounds, you don't have to move all that weight at once......the pallet weighs about 10-15 pounds, the surround comes in two separate packages, the 2-doors are removed from the unit in about 5 seconds each, many of the internal firebricks are easily removed....all told, the removable stuff and the pallet probably weighs about 200 pounds.....thus (I'm guessing) making the unit itself movable by two average sized guys.......at least that's what I'm hoping!!
I did remove and heft the doors of a display unit, I lifted both surround packages and one of the fire bricks so I know there's a LOT of weight there in those items alone and they can be moved individually so the unit itself is a lot lighter........

Oh, I know - that's what I have. And yes, removing everything you can makes it A LOT easier to move.
I've been burning mine for three seasons now and love it! Just make sure you get the optional blower as you'll need it extricate all that heat. Let us know how you make out...
