Quadra-Fire on the hearth

Hey guys, I finally got around to fixing up my living room and putting the quad in place of my old franklin.

 

It'd look better with fire in it.

Oh wait...

 

I agree. As long as the air conditioning effectively counteracts it and I get some pipe on her.

 

I have a Quad insert of about the same size. If your 4300 performs nearly the same it it going to cook you out of that room.

 

It's a back up stove for only very cold days and nights. I've thought about it getting too hot. I should only need to use it during extreme cold. Then being cooked might feel good.

 

Nice,l ooks like a totally different room.

 

Good looking install JA600L. I hope the Ideal Steel won't become jealous.

 

Nice looking hearth. I like the "stepped" look in brick hearths. That stove will serve you well.

 

Here is an update of the Quadra-Fire install. I've got a candle in it burning. This one is more for decoration.

 

I can see myself laying on one of those couches or in the recliner, just watching the fire.
Morning would include coffee.

 

I'm having a Sam Adams Octoberfest!

 

I finally got a chance to light up the Quadrafire. I'm getting some nice secondaries

 

I wasn't sure how well it would work. It's hooked into a 15ft masonry chimney. With the 90 bends I didn't know what to expect. The pictures are with the air fully closed. I'd say I'm good to go.

 

Is the chimney lined?

 

No sir. It's in great shape. This is only a back up stove. The Ideal Steel in the basement heats the house.

 

This stove really impresses me. It is a fantastic heater. It's just not quite big enough to heat the house for long periods. The Ideal Steel will gladly offer me 12-24 hours of heat.

 

I put in a quadrafire insert just like Paul bunion this December. You have to love the secondaries they produce.
