Well I've been burning for 1 week now and loving it.

Here are before and after pictures of my hearth.

Looks great! I just love the look of real brick!
Enjoy!

Wow, the difference is amazing. It certainly looks more appealing and I know that you're getting great heat output too!
Enjoy it now that the weather is turning cold.

Vast improvement.
Wonder how come you didn't get the black wooden handle?
Does that latch have the new style roller on the end?

I didn't see an option for a black wooden handle when I ordered the my PE Vista insert. The latch is just steel bar nothing fancy.
The stove sure puts out a lot of heat, it's in the mid 20's tonight but the living room is in the high 70's and the upstairs bedrooms are in the low 70's.
