Picking an insert

[miteclipse]

Hi,

Need some opinions on which insert to buy to heat a new 2400 sq ft house. 1 local shop sells enviro m55i and comfortbuilt hp22i. I am opinion to opinions and can call around to a few more shops. Insert needs to be easy to maintain along with being able to remove for deeper cleanings.

Thanks

Personally, I would go with the Enviro M55i
Bigger hopper and comes with a rail kit for easy moving for cleaning
It is also a multi-burner (corn, nutshells, cherry pits, and others )

That is good information about the rail kit. I was unaware it came with one.

It is an accessory but well worth the price

Easy to maintain and biomass stoves don't really go hand in hand too well., least in my experience they don't.

With the 26% federal rebate this year I would try to find something with the 75+% efficiency. The comfortbuilt is just shy of that unfortunately.
