Just purchased a house with a gas fireplace insert as well as a vermont castings resolute. Also have an Enviro Evolution Pellet stove. Have had the pellet stove for 5 years but have never dealt with gas insert or the wood burning but I think I'll enjoy burning the wood the best. Anyways, the gas insert is a Napoleon GD 25. Seems to put out a bunch of heat but mostly into walls, hearth, and other things I don't care about heating. Want to install blower but there isn't much product matchup that I can find for my insert. Can't even print the manual out for it on Napoleon website. I'm assuming it was built around 2000????
The following is my best guess at what might work for a blower in my insert. Hopefully it's worth my time to install this blower since it feels like a bunch of heat is being generated...
GZ550: GZ550:: Some Fireplaces that our FB-1501 (GZ550) Blower kit will work in are:
Continental GZ550, BCDV36NTR/PTR, BCDV33NR/PR, BCDV34NT/PT, BCNV36N/P, BCDV37NT/PT, BCDV40/P, BCDV42N/P, BCDV48N/P, CDV33NR/PR, CDV34NT/PR, CDV36NTR/PTR, CVF36N/P, CVF42N/P, Napoleon GZ550 (Blower), GD36NTR (Gas), Fits most Napoleon Direct vent gas/propane fireplaces.[/color]
"Fits most Napoleon Direct vent gas/propane fireplaces."
Does anyone know if this blower kit would work on my insert?
Also had a funny thing happen to me the other night while burning wood in the Resolute... My topload door was lifting randomly and blowing smoke inside my house. Also saw the stovepipe joint on the 90 into the chimney emitting puffs of smoke. It was too warm (50 deg) to have a fire(can't help myself, love the wood heat) and also was very windy. Please tell me it was the odd conditions that caused this and that I don't have a chimney project on my hands.....
