My temps will run from 600-750 and it'll cruise at 600-650 when I'm burning it hot
Yep you got it brother ! I forgot about the warranty ... It is hard to beat.
I can't say anything bad on the Summitt. So far so good. We are very pleased at this point.
We haven't had a hard winter yet here but, from what I've seen so far this stove will do fine. Ready for a weeks of single digit temps . Lol
It's has already impressed me compared to our old 23 year old earth stove.
I have to admitt I was sceptical when we were shopping . I would recommend the Summitt to anyone who was thinking of a replacement stove to meet the need of heating 2000 plus sqft on a 24/7 basis.
I can't vouch for the insert however; if its anything like the free standing stove it should do just fine.. We don't have a blower on ours and its is doing a great job so far. Best of luck !That's good to hear! I'm waiting for my summit insert to come in and I would like it to heat roughly 2600 sq ft. Really only concerned with the lower floor. Sounds like it's up to the task.

What are you seeing for burn times?I c
I
Can tell you we have ours on a masonry flue and its working flawlessly. I was concerned about how it would perform on our flue but , it's is doing great.
I am getting 10 hour overnight burn easy ! It's still has heavy chuck coal bed every morning. House is 70 -72 .What are you seeing for burn times?
Sorry, meant to say chunk coals...I am getting 10 hour overnight burn easy ! It's still has heavy chuck coal bed every morning. House is 70 -72 .
I can easily get 12 hours maybe more
If I load about a medium load, it burns about the same for me. Usually 3 to 3 1/2 hours on that load.This is a medium load after couple hrs. Got the air cracked slightly Should put out heat until 9 pm when I start my night fire
Depends on outside temps for me on heat time usually 7-12 hrs and the house is still 70-72 when I get up
I have a masonry flue and probably less than perfect draft and this stove works great !This has me excited to finally get mine installed (when it comes in!)
How'd you go bout breaking your stove in? Couple small to medium fires beforehand?I have a masonry flue and probably less than perfect draft and this stove works great !
I'm sure you'll have no problem with it heating. And it does put out "HEAT"
I don't have a blower and wouldn't need to use it if I had one.
I did a small fire first, then two medium fires.How'd you go bout breaking your stove in? Couple small to medium fires beforehand?
Ours had a very strong odor.. But, got better with next couple firesI had a couple small fires . First was 250 second was 400 last was 500give or take on all this. Didn't really have a paint smell maybe slight odor
I'm gonna have a small fire or two see how things go. Then give it all she's gotI did a small fire first, then two medium fires.
You will need to open windows due to the fumes from the paint curing . The fumes are pretty harsh. It will get better with each fire.. Just try to get the stove temp to around 300 on your first fire.
Our stove still gives off a faint odor but its hardly noticeable.
