After talking to dealer and manufacturer we installed more chimney as they reccommended. No difference still does not draft well. We have lots of fresh air going to the unit. Unit just doesn't work. I'm hoping they willeither fix it or give me my money back. We will have to see what happens, meanwhile don't buy this stove it is fairly useless and we are getting poor service.

This is the one site that I didn't find, but wish I had. We don't have any of the damage that I have read on your blog, but CANNOT get it to pour out the heat like our big 'Ole Heritage did. We have a 3000sq ft old farmhouse that is drafty and albiet poorly insulated. The summit does burn a lot less wood, but what's the point, if you are cold since you cant pack the woodbox any fuller? And it leaves sizable chunks of unburned wood, unless you let it simmer away, which means that you get cold because you haven't added anything more. Have found that you need ALOT of soft wood in order for it to really burn. Have even taken the ashpan out of it's drawer in the hopes that more air would be sucked in to make the fire burn hotter. We are considering taking some of the fire bricks out of the sides so that more immediate heat will emminate from them, but I am worried that the enamel might peel away. Initially we loved it because it kept the house constantly warm to hot in the cool of the fall. In the deep freezing cold though, it is not doing enough.

Ran it at purchase then three times more for a total of maybe 3 hrs to be sure it had no problems. With the Nov 2011 storm in the N.E. I brought out generator, ran it in two hours time slots for maybe 15 hours over three days until it died. Intake rocker arm cracked. Parts took 4 days from CA. Guarantee is 365 days - period. King Craft like "All Power America" is made in China. Good luck trying to find the company, complaining to a supplier or going through China's ISO 9000 system to report defects. Only good thing was original price and available parts. If you do not have to bank on a generator this ** MAY ** be an OK deal.
