First post, by the way, after many hours of browsing. Fabulous resource!
Been burning for 6 or 7 years now, with a Kodiak Enviro 1200 insert in our living room. House is suburban Boston multilevel, with stove facing the 6 steps leading up to the bedrooms. Pretty good circulation for the main living area and the upstairs overall. I run the circulating fan intermittently...don't always need it.
Stove was sold and installed by Commonwealth Fireplace in Dedham. Good install, great experience overall.
The circulating fan is now making intermittent bearing noises...or maybe something is rubbing against the fan blades...not sure. I've got a replacement fan assembly on the way.
I found a video on youtube showing how to get access to the fan on a larger Enviro stove, but the construction is slightly different on mine. Looks like I need to get the two side covers off, or at least the left side. Parts diagram shows where the bolts are, but I don't seem to have the clearance between the stove body and the cover to get to them (unlike the larger stove, which has a good gap).
Can someone shed some light on this? I expect that it's pretty straightforward...I just can't figure it out.
Not sure why people don't mention the Enviros more...it seems to be a well thought of brand...but not mentioned much.
Also, just stacked 3 cords of wood over the weekend. Should hold us for most of the winter (wife doesn't use the stove if I'm traveling). Finally found a good supplier...it's been a bit dicey in metrowest Boston, with too many people selling crap wood or short deliveries. Wish I had room on my property to store more, but I'm kinda maxed out at 4 or 5 cords!
Great to be here!
