What are the length of logs?
1 Answer
The manufacturer does not provide the size of the log set in this insert. The viewing area is about 25 inches wide so the logs would be at least several inches smaller than this.

January 30, 2018
My original contractor that built the house put the propane and electric hookup on the left side of the insert (see attached image one).
I have different contractor installing the framing for the insert now.
In your Manual it says the hookups are supposed to be on the right side.(Attached image 2 is from manual)
Is the contractor aloud to use a flex line to hook up the fireplace? (Or does he have to move the hard plumped line)
1 Answer
The literature is simply saying where the gas connection should be made on the insert and not where the actual gas line should be plumbed.

Does the enclosed gas insert include glass door?
1 Answer
No. Since this is a vent-free unit, it will need to utilize room air for combustion. As such, there is no glass door on the unit nor is one available. The insert does come with a safety screen.

Very Good Heat Output, But Loud Motor
The unit was easy to install, but has a loud motor. The motor did not work when a licensed plumber installed the unit. After some troubleshooting, he discovered that one of the screws from the top base plate extended through to the motor impeller, preventing the motor from spinning. This was corrected and the motor started working, but it does have a humming noise.
ProsEasy to install, but the installation manual for the remote was not properly written and included confusing schematic.
ConsSome poor fitting parts and noisy motor.

Fantastic Stove
I can't say enough good about this unit. Installation went fast with no problems. Get is on sale before units go back to regular price. My installer said mostchain stores are not handling propane stoves this year because the supplierscannot meet the customers demand. So ordering online is the way to go.
