Hi
Ive had a Napolean NPI40 fireplace insert for the past 4 years and have a few questions:
1) As long as proper maintenance is routinely performed (vaccuming out burn pot, the pellet "chute", and cleaning the accumulated fines from the auger which I do every 2-3 days ) is this safe to leave burning on low/med while I am at work for 8-10 hours? I do leave it burning all night with no fears.
2) This stove really only does a mediocre job of heating. For example, when it is 32 dg F or less out, the warmest it will get in the room it is in is about 60-62 dg. This performance is dismal compared to some free standing pellet stoves I have seen. Would a stronger blower fan help at all? House is insulated fairly well, so thats not the issue.
thanks
