How well did the Enviro convect heat during the outage? Some inserts to better than others at this. If one lives in an area with frequent power outages, I would consider that or invest in a small generator.

FWIW, this issue was one of the deciding factors when I made the call to remove the fireplace and go freestanding in the living room. We have all too frequent, long outages.
 
The fact is if you have to run the blower to keep from over heating the insert, you are running it too hot. Just masking the fact with the blower.
