It is now Monday and I am still waiting to hear back from either PE, the distributor, or the dealer, even though I was told I would hear from someone by the end of last week. The more I think about it, the more Cory from PE's question "Does the stove heat us out of the room?" does not make a lot of sense. First of all, he did not ask about the size of the room, location in the house, type of house, efficiency of the house, etc. which all would have some bearing on the heat output of the insert. Secondly, he did not ask about burn times achieved etc., which would be more indicative of whether or not the insert is experiencing excessive drafting.
For the wood burning experts out here, would you be able to achieve over night burns, if a stove is over-drafting?
Also, for everyone who has had their PE stove/insert cracked, can you post your information (ie. type and model of stove, year of manufacture, which floor is it on, type of chimney, height and diameter of flue, type and amount of wood burned in a season, etc.). I am just trying to gather data for comparison, to see if "rough" operation is the culprit.
