The Drolet Escape 1800-I Wood Fireplace Insert with 25-Foot Chimney Kit is a durable and effective heating solution that includes everything you'll need to set up and operate. The Escape 1800-I features the same reliability and durability as Drolet's freestanding Escape 1800 model in a package that may work better for your home. This wood fireplace insert slides into your old, underutilized wood-burning fireplace, and the included faceplate covers any gaps between your new unit and the old firebox. The included Vortex flexible liner perfectly fits this fireplace insert's needs and simplifies the process by removing the need to research and purchase a chimney system independently.

Venting Requirements: This item requires a chimney with 6" inner diameter.

How is this unit shipped and moved into position?
How is this unit shipped and moved into position?
This kit typically ships on one pallet. The liner kit box is usually stacked on top of the crate for the insert and surround panel. As far as ease of movement is concerned, the insert will typically require at least two people to lift it onto the hearth and place it into the fireplace.

Waiting on winter.

Texas has not seen winter yet. But we are ready with our insert installed and wood split. If the unit works as well as it went together and looks, it will be a toasty snow fall.

Pros

Arrived as advertised. Went together easily. Looks great.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind....

Efficient Insert

This insert has worked exactly like we wanted. It’s used little wood and given out so much heat. The blower has worked well. We normally use so much wood and have used 75% less. The decorative pieces came later but the company shipped them right away. This stove was the best value for the money and output.

Good stove

Just installed it into a fireplace and have been happy with it so far. It heats up fast and holds heat for a long time. The only complaints I have is the stove doesn't draw air well while getting the fire started. I have to prop the door open for about 15 minutes while it gets started. The second complaint is the chimney liner didn't come with screws to connect it to the tie downs on the top of the stove. I had to pick up a pack of stainless steel machine screws and some high temp silicone sealant to connect the liner. Overall, I would recommend the kit and would buy another if I had another place to install it.
