Hi all. Myself and a co-worker recently completed the install of this M55 Cast (Beach in colour), at our workplace (we sell a wide variety of hearth products here in eastern Canada). We used 4" ICC pellet vent and adapted into an existing 6" selkirk chimney. We've ran close to 15 bags of Eastern Embers through it so far with great results. The unit is one of the quietest I've come across and throws a tremendous amount of heat. the only downfall if you want to call it that, is like other M55's, the air wash system fails to operate in the far right corner. we've had a large amount of inquires about the unit so far and I would certainly recommend to potential buyers.

Love the stove and I really like the beech color.
I'm not sure how the light color will stand the test of time.
I ended up getting Basic Cast Black.
If you are a retailer you should shift the hearth pad over more centered under the stove.
I can understand the stove being off from the previously vented appliance but the pad should be symmetrical at a retailer.
Aside from that the display looks great. Nice and clean.
The Stove speaks (quietly) for itself.
P.S. you may want to rotate the picture for easy reading in the post.

You definitely don't have enough hearth pad on the one side and the front to meet Canadian (maybe not even US) code. Nice stove though.
Yes I realize that, the individual who placed the hearth in that position a number of years ago placed some sort of bonding agent on the bottom, not quite sure what but it is essentially permanently affixed to the concrete slab(weird I know) for the time being. The closest combustible material to the front of the unit is nearly 9 feet away and nearly 5 feet on the sides. Under the hearth and beneath the unit is a concrete slab. I think it will be ok until I can rework the hearth. Thank you for the input.
