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 running.
I like the idea of an insert, as my short chimney problem is easier to fix, as I don't have to build up the chimney as high as I've been figuring.
They look terrific, but I need them to work "easily", not just look good.
Any info here is greatly appreciated.
