I was wanting an Englander 30, but nobody had one in stock and told me they could not order just 1. So we went looking around to see what was available locally. We looked at Buck stoves, Lopi, Pacific Energy, and some others I do not recall.
after looking at stoves all day long she finally decided on the Pacific Energy Summit. We finally decided on it because:
1. we like the looks of it
2. size of the fire box
3. reputation of manufacturer
4. it is not a cat
5. lifetime warranty
It is more than we wanted to spend but it is supposed to be a good stove we went with the summit because I was looking at the Super 27 and the Owner came over and we started talking he asked about our house which is 1700 sq ft 2 story OLD farm house with little to no insulation. and he said he would go with the summit as we would be pushing the Super 27 to the max. We explained our situation and he cut us a good deal I think I am buying the Summit for less than the Super 27
I also told him we were wanting to buy an Englander 30, and to my surprise he did not talk bad about the englander he actually said they make a good stove nowadays, but in my experience they are not as good as the P.E. stoves but they are about 1/2 the price and if I was on a budget I would probably look in to them.
I am as of this far very pleased with the people at Best Fire in Jefferson City MO
it is specked out like this
black door, black stove, pedestal, and no ash pan (I did not want it and viewed it as a negative) for $1650+tax
Is this a fair price?

. I think you will be very happy with the Summit. I can't say they are better than Englanders or not, but more expensive yes. Once I get the addition here complete and an Englander, I'll post a comparison. Will be a while yet though. The Summit is built like a tank and should serve you well for many years. I love my Summit insert.
