Wilkening develops EPA-approved fireplace

If they get it to produce some good heat they might have something there.

I think this new entry may have some interesting features and to be honest, it hits my sweet spot regarding me wanting heat and the wife wanting a pretty fire with size.

I've spoken to several people at the company and they've impressed me with their knowledge a won me over (fingers crossed). In the next month or two, I expect to be ordering a Granview and as soon as I get it, I'll report back so people here can add it to their list of products to check out.

That's quite an about face. Did you get your discount?

Not an about face, was always sitting on the fence trying to figure out what worked best for my application. Truth is, I don't believe anyone currently offers an EPA approved "fireplace like" unit as large as the Wilkens (Which is what I need to please the wife). I'm certain if this units works out well, other companies will knock it off quickly, but my issue was always, do I want to be a guinea pig and go through the anticipated hassles.

After talking to the company, I got comfortable with their knowledge and believe they will support the installation like I will require. As for price, we will see where it ultimately comes out, but I'm certain I will get VALUE for my money. If the pricing ends up being higher then I feel its worth, I'll simply continue my search and move on.

Stay tuned ...

Cool, hope it goes well.

Here is the latest literature on the GranView for anyone who is interested. It shows our new finish, Ancient Iron

Jeff, did you end up getting the GranView from Wilkening? I would love to hear if you like it.
