Answers

The insert will attain its best performance if installed with a flue that generates its own draft. The minimum venting requirement will be the installation of the flue connector from the insert into the first tile of the tile of the chimney. If you are using a masonry chimney it is important that it be built in compliance with the specification of the national building code or other applicable standard for your area. It must be lined with fire clay bricks, metal or clay tiles sealed together with fire cement. The interior diameter of the masonry chimney should be identical to the insert smoke exhaust. You may also run a stainless steel liner inside the masonry chimney. A continuous 6" steel liner from the top of the chimney to the inserts smoke exhaust is the optimum system and will provide the best performance as well as compensate for poor draft situations caused by cross sectional chimneys. The insert will not work without a positive seal in the chimney.

The noise level for the blower on this Century heating fireplace insert is not tested so we are not able to determine a decibel rating.

Answers

In most cases, the faceplate for this insert should not need to be trimmed, it is made to overlap the surrounding masonry. In the rare event that it should need to be trimmed it would void the warranty of the faceplate. Trimming this faceplate requires metal working skills and should not be attempted without proper metals knowledge and tools.

Great Little Wood Stove Insert When I first bought this, I thought it was very small. Its in my basement with an open stairwell so the heat pretty easily works its way upstairs to the main level. After a few hours this wood stove insert heats up my 600 square foot basement to the point of where I have to open doors to the outside. It also keeps the upstairs at around 66-68 degrees with the hvac fan on. I am very happy with this product. The window is also a nice size and allows a nice view of the fire. December 20, 2014

Our main heating source! We purchased this in hopes to heat our 1440 sq ft house, and even though we are only on the second full day of using it, we have already seen a difference! With a few more heat saving measures we are still taking, we're optimistic that it will continue to take the chill off! We recommend fully reading all of the instructions in the manual before firing, as we would have gone full blast if we had not read the instructions. We had a professional install it, and it seemed simple enough for them! Great product! Thanks, Northern Tool and Century Heating! December 12, 2014

Don't let price fool you. I have two of these inserts. One in the basement and the other upstairs. 1100 sq ft basement, 1400 sq ft first story. I can get the basement to about 85 F on the coldest days without anythinf going upstairs. I can get (by accident) the upstairs to 90 F. The only real problem with the insert is the burn times. The longest burn I've gotten was only around 7 hours. This means I have to get up in the middle of the night to restock the insert, but for 1/2 the cost of most inserts it is definitely worth it. November 14, 2014

Starting Third Season With Stove I live in a 2000 sq ft. home built in 1963. It has new double pane windows and extra insulation in the attic. I have been using wood stoves for many years and have three including the Century unit in my home. Since getting the Century 65,000 BTU stove I have not used the other two stoves much. The Century stove does a very good job of heating the house. We don't get the winters like up north but do get a week or so long cold spells that test a stoves heating ability. The fan is not that load and the stove burns relatively clean with well seasoned wood. One of the most important things to get a hot burning stove is to start with good seasoned wood. I would buy this stove again and would recommend it to a friend. November 11, 2014

Puts out alot of heat very nice stove for the price heats are 1500 sq ft ranch home very well.saved us alot of propane last winter.The bad things are the fire box is small and you do have to empty ashes every other day.I would recommend this stove for the price.install was a bit tricky to get the old damper out of fireplace,put ss liner in chimmney was the easy part.
