great fire, huge heat output, burns well, fans are poorly positioned though and not built / designed for high heat that can build up directly under fire box and they burn out, regularly ( having replaced several I have now redesigned a convection fan system in-sit u) resolved by redesign the fan/fans .Fans now out of the area of greatest heat if you suffer fan burn out and need a solution get in touch

Noisy door slides but high temp grease spray solves this, seals can be replaced. Overall happy with unit and heat, It heats 3200 square feet to 19c not bad on three floors! via heat convection ducts as well.
