Do you use a Napolean 6000 high country?

[21acrewoods]

I am hoping to here from someone using a Napolean 6000 High Country fireplace. I was wondering if they have an ash removal system? If so, how does it work? What is the effeciency rating(%)? How many grams of particulate/hour does it emit? Do you heat 24/7, if so, where at and how big of house.
Looks like a big time heater.

It's a big box, but not that efficient from what users have posted. I don't have experience with this fireplace, but if you do a search on Napoleon 6000 in the Search Forums field to the upper left, you'll find some users and answers.

Here's a short sample:

The Napoleon 6000 high country was my first choice. It has the largest viewing area by far and is hands down the best looking zc fireplace. However it is not a high efficient design. I did a bunch of research and seen numerous of posts from people saying its not. There was a big write up by a guy that sold Napoleon stuff, and he totally dogged the 6000's efficiency. Plus its not EPA approved. Napoleon claims a lot on there site, but its marketing. I'm looking at the Quadrafire 7100 and the Heatnglow Northstar. You might want to check these 2 units out. They don't look quite as nice, but supposed to be way more efficient.
