Finally got it installed according to code. Watch out homeowners with 2x6 framing...unit is unofficially built for 2x4 framed walls so some in field engineering is needed. Same goes for those interested in Heatilator Constitution model...(its the same model, just costs more than Heat n Glo) Quadrafire 7100 is very similar as well but its bigger and fits 2x6 walls much better but also costs $2K more or so...
Anyway other than the framing snafu everything else is working out well. The things cranks the heat and secondary burn seems easy to achieve. As a matter of fact I like it better then my FPX 44 elite I had in another house. That FPX was a catalytic and I could never get it to consistently burn off...this North Star is a cinch and its so neat to see a fire on the top of the fire box bigger than the one coming off the wood.
I assume that is the burn I am trying to achieve? Any comments?
Otherwise it puts out lots of heat...
Now just have to decide how to finish off the interior...
