Just wondering if the Pacific energy summit would be too big of a stove for a 2000sq ft house. It rates up to 3500. Anyone here own one of the these and would you recommend this stove or should I stick with the Quad I was also looking at.
The Secondary burn chamber is totally built of stainless steel and is one floating box at the top of the fire box. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/Roospike/FOURM/P8250408.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/Roospike/FOURM/P8250410.jpg http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a97/Roospike/FOURM/P8250411.jpg Thread link: https://www.hearth.com/econtent/index.php/forums/viewthread/2874/It has a newer secondary burn that’s covered in a sheet of stainless. it’s baffle is protected by a sheet of stainless.
The secondary burn chamber is held with 1 pin/key as seen in the top back opf the fire boxThe Summit, if I recall it’s 2 pins and out it comes.
A link to how the EBT( Extended Burn Technology) works: http://chimneysweeponline.com/hoebt.htmThe Summit has EBT. I really don’t understand why but, although they advertise it extends burn times I can’t see how when it opens additional air. My theory behind it’s true purpose
The Pacific Energy Summit will heat your house fine and is not over sized. My home is 1800 sq and we heat with 100% wood and dont have a problem with too large of wood stove.JimAnctil said:Just wondering if the Pacific energy summit would be too big of a stove for a 2000sq ft house.

Both the Pacific Energy "SUMMIT" model of free standing AND insert have the EBT. The Vista is a very good model too and the 1050 sq. ft PAJerry has is a good choice for the Vista size stove. I would say the Summit would fit into a home 1200sf - 2500 sf .( even tho its rated up to 3000 sf. ) You would have to have a very open style home to heat with any stove that heated 3000 sf. I would think you would be pushing it to heat a home over 2500 sf with 1 wood stove.PAJerry said:Although they don't have EBT, all the PE inserts have the same type of baffle assembly - one pin and out it comes.
