We had our new insert installed last week. It is a real adjustment in burning the new efficient stoves, especially since ours was 1970 technology. We had the stove store do the install--I'm glad we did! They did a great job on the liner and cap. The stove was 2700 and the install with a liner was 1500. It puts out more heat, uses MUCH less wood, and so far it appears to leave hardly any ash by comparison. I'll post a picture soon.
My friend who is in this business says that PE stoves are workhorses, not very pretty but good stoves. I think it looks great in our hearth. Anybody recommend a cleaning kit? Or individual piece parts? My old insert burned so hot that cleaning every 4 years was fine. I know that I'll need to clean this new stove every Spring.
