**Some appliances have been tested with a low ceiling. Before setting up your unit, refer to the installation manual.

1. Performances based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard at 7 lb/ft³ and with a moisture content between 19% and 25%.
2. Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).
3. This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.
4. The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft³ and 20 lb/ft³. Other performances are based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard. The specified loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft³. The moisture content is between 19% and 25%.
5. As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.
6. Higher Heating Value of the fuel.
7. Lower Heating Value of the fuel.
8. The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate (using HHV) and represents the appliance’s ability to convert the energy contained in the solid fuels into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.
9. Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure.

Installed mine about two years ago and love it. Cut my winter oil consumption by 1/3 or better. The installation went a lot easier than the chimney liner. Some folks may want to hire a chimney pro for that part.

The stove is good enough. The issue I have with this product surrounds the blower: quality issues, and design issues specifically. The blower I received has evidence of an electrical short prior to installation and when it’s running makes noise so loud that I’ve had to double to TV volume to drown out the sound. More on the design of the blower: this blower is supposed to be hung under the ash lip from a few clips, which came preinstalled. The issue is that the blower is temperature controlled using a thermostat, which is theoretically great, however the clips are hung too far forward to allow the temperature sensor to contact the stove housing. Without Gerry rigging a conductive solution, there is no way to bypass the temperature sensor. So I currently have aluminum foil wadded up between the blower and stove to create a contact patch. This is absolutely unacceptable for a new stove. I shouldn’t have to wedging rubber and foil around a blower for it to just be moderately functional.

Installed by myself with guidance from a local WETT inspector who assisted connecting the liner to the unit. Pretty easy to install, a lot of work meeting code for WETT inspection

About the unit. We can’t believe how well this Drollet 1500-I works. It heats our whole house (1900 sq ft). It’s super well built and looks really good. All I can say is this is one of the best purchases for our house by far. Also at a really good price. I know because I spent a ton of time on the internet looking at fireplace inserts for days. Thanks for a great product

Excellent wood burning insert, this is the second Drolet 1500 that we have purchased and installed into our homw.
