    Zero Clearance Outside Air Kit for FP30 - how hot does it get?

    I recently had a zero clearance fireplace installed, the Pacific Energy FP30 Arch, and requested an outside air kit be installed. The installer used an insulated flex pipe to the fireplace, but the flexible pipe appears to be of a polyester material instead of metal - similar to the one in this...

    Insert or Free Standing?

    In my quest to purchase my 'last wood stove' I saw the Blaze King Ashford 25 insert & the Pacific Energy Alderlea T5 insert. The concept is good, as they don't take up much space, but they seem a little low (bending over to load), and I wonder how well they actually heat without the fan...

    Pacific energy EBT2 importance

    Ok so I was just about to push the button on ordering a Super 27 after feeling that the Summit is probably too big for my space but I have noticed that the Super 27 doesn't have the EBT2 extended burn technology that the Summit and Neo range have. I just assumed it was across the range but no...
