Thanks Ron T. Only reservations about it is one the 18 ft and two how much taking apart I would have to do.
Thanks! I see what I did wrong. I used their search engine for "soot eater" and should have searched "sooteater". I wouldn't have thought menards had such a sensitive little thing of a search engine!
That my number one complaint about Menards...their website is crap when it comes to searching for stuff...I have been so frustrated finding stuff that I have found before, and, I know that my local store stocks!
And that, I do! It is a pain waiting for those dang store credit to come, isn't it? HD will offer an 11% match when menards has theirs....plus, I get a 10% discount for veterans. Looks like HD is going to get a visit! Menards = $48.... minus 11% = 42.72 HD = $44...……….. minus 10% = 39.60...……. minus 11% = 35.24
Hi FatBoy and Joe, I've got the insert your talking about. It's a medium hybrid made by Lopi, but they brand it Fyre Xtraordinaire. It can throw serious heat and on 20 degree mornings has kept just about all of a 2 story 1850 sq. ft. house at 67 degrees in the rooms farthest from the insert. Nice and toasty in the living room at the end of the house where the unit is located. Even upstairs bedrooms stay 66 or higher on cold nights with a load of good seasoned fuel put in at 10 pm. And all this without the oil-fired boiler coming on to heat any zone in the house. With oil at over five bucks a gallon in New Hampshire and most of my wood costing me less than $150 a cord thanks to sweat equity and readily available trees cheap or free, my goal is to keep laying in red oak for three years down the road and keep more $$ in our pocket. Just gotta stay healthy and "competent" enough to fell, buck, split and stack... Hard work that's worth the savings... and it makes beer and supper taste better.
Does anyone have experience and advice for removing the baffle and catalytic converter in this unit for annual flue cleaning? Will need to get to that after heating season is over next spring.
