I was eying up an Englander 30 today at HD. It was the pedestal mount I think. $899.00 I'm gonna git me one of those.

dont get me wrong , i have a ton of respect for PE, but that 30 will give it all it wants head to head. hey , if the summit outheats the 30 , its worth every penny IMHO, but i think i got a pretty good horse in the race. i'll leave it at that

I look at it as the best of both worlds . I am sure the Summit & 30 will heat my nearly 3,000 sf rather nicely. Guess I better add more wood piles ready for burning.
Depending on how the addition comes along in the new few months, I am hoping to grab one this year. When I do finally get the two running. I will try and do a fair assessment of both and compare. I honestly think they will be fairly close as far as heat output & burn times. If Englander had a large insert, I would have gotten that last year. But the one you have is just too small for my needs (hint hint). Any news on a middle size woodburner? The 12 & 13 are too damn small.

Hmmm... I seem to remember some old guy standing in the lab last year saying something like "If you had an insert version of the 30 you would sell a million of'em.".
Take the legs and ash pan off, flat-top it and you have a 20" high X 24" wide X 28" deep 3.5 cf insert just waiting for a one to two inch shroud and a surround around it. Put 16" of it in front of the surround and 12" behind it and it would fit a mess of fireplaces.
I will leave Corie to figure out blower mounting and the little stuff like what to do with the flame impingement plate. :cheese:
Ain't it nice having everybody telling ya how to make your product?

the 30 nc is a 3.5 cf firebox
BrotherBart said:The manufacturers count the secondary combustion air space in the firebox size. Loading parameters for the 30-NC and the PE Summits are to the top of the firebrick so usable loading area in that case is the same size for both stoves. 3.0 cubic feet.
The 30 just gives you a couple of inches more before you start knocking dents in the baffle material if you go past the top of the bricks.
