Hi Guys -
Last week we became the proud owners of a Quadrafire Mt Vernon pellet insert. We had a decorative heat propane fireplace which we hadn't used for 3 years. It looked good, but didn't put out any heat. I yanked it out and started looking for something to fill the hole with. I'd been researching this forum and any other website I could find for info and opinions. I had narrowed my choice to the Harman Accentra or the Quadrafire Castile inserts. However, when the technician from Maine Stove and Chimney came out for a site inspection, he said that because we have a 18' cathedral ceiling directly above where the stove would go, neither of those choices would provide enough heat for the main floor of our home.
So, despite the fact that the Mt Vernon costs a lot more money than the other units, we decided to bite the bullet. The people at Maine Stove and Chimney did a great install (they had to remove all of the propane flue pipes and replace them with pellet pipe - another rather large expense!) I built my own mantle pad and did the tile surround. My Bride and I are happy with the look of the stove (reminds us of our old Jotul woodburner we used to have and the thing really outputs the BTU's!)
Anyway, to my question. Would a battery backup / surge suppressor like the kind I have hooked up to this computer work with the Mt Vernon? The unit I have attached to this computer will run the computer and monitor for about an hour when the power goes out.
Here's a shot of the new bundle of joy -
Thanks all...
