Wood insert Recommendations

[Mtnyota]

I've decided the vistaflame VF1700 insert (rebadge Enviro Kodiak 1700) looks like the way to go. I finally got moved in and measured the chimney tiles. The inside measurments are 6" x 15" oval. What is the best way to attack this with a liner/insullation.

You might consider a Quadrafire if you have any local dealers or keep an eye on Craigslist. I have a 9 Year old Quad 3100i that I have been using since new that I would swear by.

3100i Wood Insert

Based on your dimensions it would be a tight fit but it would work.

I typically get 6-10 hour burn times with useful heat depending on the wood used and how I pack the stove. With a full load of red fir I get useful heat for about 7-9 hours and can still reload the stove and restart it on coals in about 12 hours.

I know this was an old thread. But was wondering if you had any tips or anything for the 3100 I. I have a 3100 I acc insert and just would like some tips on burn rates air controls and that kind of such... If you have any information would be very helpful thanks!
