Regency pellet insert

[Fish On]

Does anyone have a regency pellet insert gc160

Friend of mine got one and I really don't know much about them. Are they good stoves?

Anything u don't like about them?

I'm helping him install it seems like a easy install. One thing I did notice it doesn't com with a thermostat. I have a sky tech laying around I guess I can use that?

Hi Fish- GCI60 is the sister stove of Enviro M55, Sherwood Ind (Enviro) makes Regency their models. Most people would agree its a quality stove and it should be for its price. A mVolt thermostat is what is needed. It ships with a mechanical wired thermostat to use if one desires.

Does Enviro make all the re-branded Regency products?

I posted a bit of a review of my enviro M-55 insert here, though more of it is about putting an OAK up a chimney:

if the link doesn't work, search for quietcorner and find my post with a title similar to this link

hope your friend's Regency insert & install work out well!

Just got done with install. Nice quiet stove and well made. It's a beast of a stove. Wish he got the rail kit

All in all he's happy with it.

Can't imagine why you'd want the rail kit Likely would be worth the cost of the rails in terms of less frustration...

Glad to hear it went well and hope they get to enjoy it during the holidays!

Would highly suggest the service rails if you intend on working on the insert and doing the annual cleanings, the unit has to be pulled out far enough to allow access to the combustion blower (lower left back of stove), an absolute must to clean each year.
LG- yes Sherwood does make their stoves for them, the GF-55 is a Meridian re-badged. Also one of my favorite stoves (espec Meridian cast...) Stay warm everybody...
