    regular and light weight firebrick differences

    regular and light weight firebrick differences

    Napoleon 1900 or Pacific Energy Summit

    The only stove problem I ever had with my 1400 was getting some coals caught in the ash door and having a runaway fire. It wasn't the stoves fault...

    Napoleon 1900 or Pacific Energy Summit

    Napoleon 1900 or Pacific Energy Summit

    That's not a bad option either. I'm not sure which way I'm going yet. I'm really open to any option with a 3.0+ box that will take a 20" log.

    Napoleon 1900 or Pacific Energy Summit

    I am strongly considering putting in a Napoleon 1900 in place of my current 1400 for added burn time, more heat output and a longer log length. The...

    Napoleon 1400 to 1900 clearance issues
