Install was easy except the liner was tough, recommend getting the pull through cap and you may need assistance as the flex is not that flex. Otherwise easy install, very heavy, produces tons of heat, burns efficiently as expected. The blower is automatic based on stove temperature so in case you're trying to figure out why it does not turn on initially, the stove has to get hot enough and then it turns on automatically with a shut off know and can adjust rate of fan. Happy with our stove!
