Just got the call......its going to fit! I know its not a huge insert but it is the largest that will fit in my fireplace and also my first woodburner. I'm so pumped.
Now for the idiot noob questions......
1. How much wood will this thing burn up if I only burn at night/weekends? Red oak to be exact. Lets say....in a month time period.
2. Can someone post up some links to the typical "Im new to woodburning help me" stuff... I dont even know what to search for
3. ANY tips related to this particular insert will be great from owners
4. My home is 1800 sq ft. 2 story. about 800 downstairs and 1000 up. Downstairs is all one room. Stairway is about 18 feet from the fireplace with my HVAC air return at the top. You see where I am going with this......is the air return at the top of the stairs going to help recirc. some of that heat in my 3 bedrooms upstairs if I keep the fan running?
5. Tell me how in the world you guys are getting the temp of your chimney pipe?
6. Do rounds burn longer than splits....say a 4-5" diameter round campared to a split of equal size? I know they do in my smoker.....but it runs at 225....not 6-700.
7. Start up procedure.....in detail please......
8. Who knows what else I need to know.....If you think I need to know it, post it here.
Thanks in advance.....Im sure this will become a frequented forum for me.
