I am so excited this is finally done. We went from an old Grizzly with broken blowers that would run uncontrollably to nice new BK Princess.
We quite a bit of help here, I ended up doing most of the work myself since the dealer changed the install price from $700 to $1500 after the insert was delivered.
I did have a licensed installer help with the liner to make sure the warranty was covered, but that was no where near $1500. Easy install since we ran the 6" down the 8" flex liner that was there.
Two smaller fires so far and it appears to be working quite well. I insulated the smoke changer with Roxul ComfortBatts and the walls of the firebox with Roxul Rockboard and durock as others have done here. I couldn't feel any heat on the brick outside (exterior chimney), but my hand is not all that accurate.
Hoping we have enough dry wood for this winter!
Thanks again everyone!
