Hello everyone,
I have been lurking here for quite a while and finally registered. I have a Country Flame Model B insert that I had to slightly modify to install in my fireplace and everything has been working great. The insert was a little too wide for my opening so I cut it down about 3/4 of an inch on each side and re-weld the whole thing. I am very impressed with the insert in all, it can heat my whole house and keep that $$$$ oil burner on standby. I do have a few issues like the annoying soot build up on the glass doors, but after searching here for a miracle fix I came up empty handed....guess Ill have to deal with that. The sad thing is I got this insert for the glass doors and after 3 days it may as well be solid metal. Im wondering if there is anyone else here that modified their insert to fit and if so how it turned out for them.
