Questions about my summit insert

[Jhnbrll]

Hello my name is john. I'm new to the site. I just purchased a summit insert and installed it myself.

I bought this as a display unit. After loading all the fire brick into the stove I found another piece of the stove in the box

I see just in the door on the bottom there are pins

Does this piece go here like this?

My next question is when I look up into the stove next to firebox I can see insulation

Is this how it's supposed to be when I burn? Any info would be helpful. Thank you

The insulation is correct. The piece of stainless steel is the boost air manifold and goes on those pins in the front. Some Summit jockeys will be along shortly to provide more info.

Thanks for the reply. It seems that the insulation would melt.

It is ceramic fiber. It ain't gonna melt lately. Well, it will get a little soft around 2,400 degrees. But by then the stove would be too.

Hahaha well ok then. Awesome! Thanks for the info!

You've got it right. The pins are the stops for the boost manifold.

Practice & remember the pin placement on that boost manifold. It'll come in handy when your rushed doing a boost manifold cleaning.

As an aside, the boost manifold for the Summit, is wayyyyyy different from the PE Pacific. Now I understand why I didn't quite get Hogz posts about it all of the time

The boost manifold just lays in there and the pins act more as stops. The manifold just rests against them.

Do the holes that are on that boost manifold point up or down towards the inside of the stove?

They face the inside of the stove. If they are facing up, you have the manifold installed upside down. Should only fit one way. I am pretty sure they are notched on each side where they rest on the front opening lip.

Looks like you got it right in your photo.
