Starting the process of replacing the Napoleon 1101 insert with a PE Summit (the insert I should have bought 7 years ago). Like many, I want to load N/S and need a larger firebox. I have been researching for a year or so and finally have the better-half convinced.
That said, I’m getting some varying pricing in my shopping. I’ve seen the unit as cheap as $2600 and as much as $3200 (all with standard options). I’m not in to the brass and nickle doors and such, I like black. So standard pricing is my baseline.
Do you all mind sharing what you paid? And if you ordered to your home, where from? I can install myself with the help of a neighbor (to lift). So I’m not opposed to ordering online.
My local dealer won’t install stoves they don’t sell, maybe a liabilit issue? Not sure. Anyway, don’t want to pay the install fee to simply have them connect my liner to the unit. If my thought process is wrong here, please advise.

With the better hardwoods, I get 12 hour cycle times. It delivers a beautiful light show, cranks the heat, and has been absolutely trouble free. I know the Summit is even larger and weighs more, may need a third hand with install/unloading. Hope this helps!
