    Anyone have this fireplace and how do you like it? What are burn times and heat output like? Was going to go with a different brand fireplace for our new build but that one is now 15 weeks backorder minimum.

    We have one and like it. I can get over night burns on it, if I fill the night before and choke back the air supply. I can fit 20” pieces in the front near the glass but not in the back as it tapers.

    It’s kinda short to load north to south, only 13” from front to back.

    I do get coals for a re lite in the morning if I fill it up before bed and choke back the air. I do get black glass that way too. But it cranks out the heat. The blower is the strongest I’ve seen compared to any free standing stove. (280cfm)

    The only drawback that I have is that the glass will soot over and turn black unless the air is full open. So I leave the air wide open and fill the stove with wood according to the heat I need.
