So I thought I'd share. We had a Napoleon 1101 insert for two years that wasn't cutting it. We had no intentions of installing anything this year, but the 2010 tax credit and a local dealer giving us a good deal on a left over new Defiant changed our minds.
So we tore out the catty-cornered wall and insert and installed the Defiant there. Totally transformed the living room!
Wish I'd have taken more pictures through the process.
The new stove is a little more complicated to operate but we love what it is doing!
The heat output difference is night and day. We struggled to keep the stove room 66* with bedroom doors closed and rooms freezing, now 75* is easy, with 68* bedrooms depending on weather.
