Just had my new Avalon Pendleton insert installed today ( can't send a picture yet) I have been burning for 15 years in a Zero Clarence fireplace and what a difference this Beauty is. One thing I read alot was stove's going to hot and for any Newbie what I've found in one day being accustom to burning in a ZC insert is "don't put in to much wood in". I would put in 3 to 4 split logs in my ZC and now with this Avalon I'm putting in one log 2 x 2 inch x18 long and the stove is at 400 degrees...unbelievable at this rate my wood will rot before I use it...Thanks Obama... I would have never bought this if it wasn't for the tax rebate.
stove is now up to 450 today warming nicely
