Montecito Estate / Update on new model?

[Dave48103]

I know the older version of the Montecito Estate was discontinued last year due to not meeting the new 2015 EPA standards. I had heard rumors that an updated model would be available first quarter of this year. Has anyone heard any updates on when this model will once again be available?

It's still for sale but now as an IHP product under the Astria brand. The EPA program for reduced fireplace emissions is encouraged, but voluntary.

From the link you posted, it looks like it's only available in Canada

Odd, that is an Astria US website, and it says it qualifies for the US tax credit, but I see what you mean. Call to verify.

Another arched, large ZC FP to consider would be the Quadrafire 7100.

I'm going to see if I can purchase it from a Canadian dealer and have it shipped to US. I live in Michigan, about an hour from the dealer

Looks like it's back on the market in the US. We are placing our order today
