So I've wanted a wood insert for some time and got motivated to spend the money after finding out about the tax credit.
Started investigating late last year and got a 2700i installed into my Heatilator HF36-A few days ago.
Love it!
Having a pre-fab fireplace limits my choices of inserts but I'm happy with this.
Produces good heat with the blower and doesn't radiate much at all.
All I was looking to do was find a unit that wouldn't inhale all my fire wood like the fireplace did, produce enough heat to give the furnace a rest, and operate safely.
This little stove has it's work cut out for it with my open floor plan and high ceilings but it's doing ok.
