I just picked up my new insert this morning and I'm getting very excited about putting this thing in. I bought an Enviro Venice and I think I got a pretty good deal. About $2250 for the stove, the surround, optional base plate and tax.
Anyway, do the ratings that the manufacturer uses on their website and general literature differ from the ratings that you see on your actual stove? The ratings on the website and all the literature that I have for the stove say it is 75% efficient and about 75,000 btu's of heat output. When I looked at the tag that comes with the stove it says the stove is in the range of 60-63% efficient (there is an arrow that points to a range of values) and the btu output is 9,900 to 34,000 btu's. Maybe it's under different operating conditions?
