First off thanks to everyone who posts, with out this site I never would have known about the Kodiak 1700 as an option for our small angled firebox, the price ($2000 with face plate) was far better than some of the other large stoves that would fit our firebox. My dealer was even impressed with the stove, they carry Enviro pellet stoves but have never dealt with the inserts. I ordered it and even though they said 2-3 weeks it was ready for pick up 3 days later! So I did a self install this past weekend using a 5.5" flex king liner from chimney depot. One question I have is I put stove cement where the adapter goes into the stove would you put some around where the liner goes into the adapter? It goes in at a slight angle, I tried to get it bent to go in perfectly straight but could not get it but it is seated as far down as it would go. I included a pic of the finished product as well as the basic block off plate and the liner and adapter, I did insulate with mineral wool behind the block off plate. Any feedback on my install job would be great!
