Summit inside dimensions and door dimensions?

[rdust]

Can anyone with a Summit measure the usable space in their firebox and their door opening?

I may be shopping for a larger stove soon so I'm in a gathering data stage. Not sure how I missed this stove when I bought my Endeavor, it's not much larger foot print wise and has good clearances. I would've bought the Liberty if it had a square firebox.

Thanks!

front to back and side to side it is 20" inside the firebox. firebox is @ 13" tall inside to the baffle. Door opening is 18.5" w x 9.5" tall.

Now I'll have to figure out if a couple inches in width and height will be worth it in the real world. Extra inches in depth I don't see being used for years since I'm 3 year out with wood cut 16-18 inches. I'm going to see if the local dealer has any on the floor so I can put my head in one for a real world look.

For the Summit, you don't want your wood any longer than 18". I been cutting mine at 16" to 18" for the Summit.

+1 on the wood size, don't factor that in with your decision.

After stovebox volume, i would concentrate on the clearance/hearth/pipe specs to mate up with your current hearth situation, unless you were planning on a hearth overhaul.

For any N/S stove, at least a couple inches between wood and door is best, otherwise the air has no good direct path to the coals bed. I prefer 3" to 4" less. It will burn better and coals buildup will be reduced.
