Jotul UK line different than USA

[dougthom]

I have noticed that the Jotul UK site has a very different line of wood fireplace inserts than the 3 that are listed on the US jotul website. Does anyone know why this is and has anyone had any experience importing a UK insert? I probably am buying the Winterport c350 but I like the clean lines of the UK inserts.

In general, stoves are smaller over there - because houses are!
Also, they are not EPA approved, but likely still clean burning.

It is really just marketing decisions which determine which products are sold here. You can import one...in fact, I think a company can import up to 50 units, and not be subject to EPA requirements.

But you might be able to find a US branded unit with a similar looks - see if HearthStone or Morso has any inserts that are closer.

Thanks for the replies. I do like the Morso 5660 insert and I think it would fit. I have been told that I need a "zero clearance" insert because I am replacing a 3 sided glass inefficient box which sits under an inside wooden chimney and is fairly close to other combustibles. Any comments on whether the Morso is zero clearance and general comparison with the Jotul c350 Winterport would be appreciated. A photo of the existing is attached and this link is to the Jotul UK site for general info re their overseas inserts.
