How To Use Your Wood-Burning Insert

[@cathiesims3403]

I was wondering if you had a video on the baffling? I messed it up and not sure how it's supposed to lay with insulation and the pieces that look like wood but feel like Styrofoam.

I was actually wondering the same thing. I have the pipes in place, but should that styrofoam-like insulation lay in the pipes, or all the way in the back on the swinging metal flap/damper.. I have a Drolet Escape 1400

I have a Vogelzang 1,200 sq. ft. Wood Stove Insert - VG1820

You bet here is another video showing the precise process. Thank you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqu0Y6mgdpmEaMUfeature=shared

It wil be in the installation manual... sorry I don't have a video on that. But if you google the phrase you seek you will find it! @@DizzyThermal

@@Midtownsweepsfranchise the manual was super helpful.. The swinging metal flap was the front baffle support. So it was incorrectly installed and not supporting anything. It is now supporting the front of my vermiculite baffle - like it ought to 👍

What are btu of hard woods, which I'm told u should be burning

[@Midtownsweepsfranchise]

The BTU of hardwoods is much higher than softer woods. There are benefits to both kinds of wood. Usually softer woods (take pine for example) burn hotter, and more dense hard woods burn slower and cooler. And remember the impact on the chimney over time: a hot chimney is a clean chimney!
