    Wood burning insert installation cost

    My insert install was 5 or 600 bucks three years ago. It was a routine install and I believe the guy quoted a fixed price.

    Hampton HI300 overfire

    Jim--Did you have the blower on? I think it would be hard to overfire with the air half way and the blower on.

    Do I Need Annual Oil Furnace Cleaning

    Thanks for all the replies. It is a forced air furnace, btw. I think I'll skip this year and see how it goes.

    Do I Need Annual Oil Furnace Cleaning

    Help Choosing Insert: Clydesdale or HI300

    What do you consider a "full" stove?

    With my HI300, full is 6 or 7 splits. I tend to split smaller because of the small firebox. Smaller splits give me more options for filling.
