Freddie P. from Derwood, Md asked:
Does the fireplace blower have a manual control switch along with the heat-activated sensor?
Does the fireplace blower have a manual control switch along with the heat-activated sensor?
No, the blower rheostat control is controlled by the heat sensing disk. The fan will not power on until the fireplace insert has reached a temperature of 110 degrees at the location of the heat disk.

Escape 1800-1 insert

I am very impressed I start a fire around 6pm and by 11 pm I put one large log then by 6am I put 3 or 4 pieces. then all day I rake the coals forward with the fan on no more wood until i take the ashes out at 6pm

Pros

I live in Mississippi and one arm load of wood will last 12 hours

Cons

you need an ash guard about 2 inches tall

Great Stove for the Midwest

We love the stove. We bought the stove in October 2020 and have been using for about 3 months. This stove has been adequate for our 3600 sq. ft. home, although we live in Indianapolis and it hasn't gotten too far below freezing. Our fireplace is on the main level of two story home with a finished basement. The stove will easily stay hot for eight hours. There are always hot coals in the insert in the morning. The stove is easy to keep clean, i just wipe the glass with some vinegar and a paper towel when I empty the ash. Installation was simple, but it took about a few hours. Get help, the insert is very heavy. My only complaint is that fan that attaches to the stove rattles when it is set to any speed above low. I slid a few small shims beneath the fan and it no longer rattles.
