PE BOOST MANIFOLD!!! UGH HELP

[ffrmp177]

I own a PE super insert and i am getting very frustrated, the boost manifold is "L" shaped with holes in it. Reading this site it sounds like it should be inserted right below the door with the holes facing towards the back of the stove. The person who installed the stove inserted it at the top of the stove ceiling right in front of the baffle with the holes facing down closer to the front. I can't find how to install this correctly ANYWHERE on the net, nor is it in the manual. Can someone please help, and finally put my mind at ease THANK YOU

You are correct. It fits neatly over the front, lower edge of the firebox with the holes on the lower leg of the L, facing the back of the firebox.

Here are a couple threads with pics of the boost manifold where people had questions or issues.

Summit and T6 but the manifold location is the same.

Glad to help. Unfortunately not all dealers are created equal. Enjoy your insert and call the dealer in the morning. You can help the next customer out.

You also should remember the pins sticking up from the bottom of the insert near the front door. The manifold fits exactly in between those pins.

Welcome to the forums !!

Time for PE to clean up some of their their dealer's & some distributors. Shaking my head.
You will love the stove though, excellent choice. Now that you have the manifold in the right place, it should burn great.

The dealer I bought my Summit from had never sold a PE before and even he got it right.
