Thanks, very much useful as the chainsaw sharpening kit I bought came with two instruction booklets – both the same, neither with English instructions! I tried a google translate on one of the eastern European languages in them, but your instructions are much clearer.
Also, my kit had four grinding burrs – blue/grey (4mm), white (4.5mm), orange (4.8mm), pink (5.5mm).

After nearly four years of using my Pacific Energy insert (largest model), I now openly regret its purchase. The QuadraFire 5100 insert was what I had my eye on, but the dealer talked me out of it. The QuadraFire has two air sources, and the Pacific Energy has only one, up front. The PE chews through wood but dumps the heat up the chimney, and leaves a heap of unburnt charcoal that requires constant raking. It’s frustrating. Mine also rattles and buzzes like crazy. One kudo is the apparent long life of the fan, which we run six days a week.

110 volt powered cable loop from top to bottom of hill like a ski lift. Maybe cut trunks 10-15 feet long and have it drag one at a time. Helper at top can turn power switch on and off and unhook the logs. God Bless!

Bought a PE Summit freestanding to replace a 30 or so year old Appalachian Stove.
Not impressed at all.It easily eats 2-5 times the wood the Appalachian did, and the heat output SUCKS !! This “beast” is in a less than 1k sqft basement and the only place its warm is right at the stove when you open the door !!The blower setup is a joke at best.
After 1- 1 1/2 hrs running the old Appalachian,I could run around in underwear,not happening with this Summit.If I had the $$$ to replace this thing it would be GONE !!!!!the only nice thing about it is the glass stays clean so you can see the fire for what good that does.
And the dealer I got it from could care less

We have a 200 sf house in Western North Carolina and installed a Pacific insert last winter season.

The unit was installed promptly after arrival; it suffered some damage in shipment and the dealer replaced the damaged parts within two weeks.

Last winter was unusually mild and we used two and a half cords of wood, never turning on the electric heat.

The dealer, Foothills Fireplace and Stove in Tryon, NC was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions promptly.

I am extremely satisfied with the insert and do not have any complaints at all.

The insert does everything it is supposed to do and looks great to boot!

Ditto booie’s comment. Should have used the 5/32″ stone. The cutter is on the top, not the side!

Looking at the finished product something went very wrong. This tooth wouldn’t cut warm butter. The cutting edge is 90 degrees to the top of the chain. You also need to file down the depth guard a bit each time you sharpen.

I did purchased a 2000 watts generator and starts fine, runs for one minute and stops by itself. Called service and returned for repair. Takes one to two weeks they said…

Hiya: thanks for getting time of writing up this specifics. I always endeavor to further more my knowledge of items. Irrespective of whether I agree or disagree, I love details. I bear in mind the olden days if the only source of details was the library or the newspaper. They the two appear so out of date. Please excuse my rough english : )

hi, while i appreciate somene has taken the trouble to photograph the process, they should be amended as they are WRONG! as per several other comments, the guide should always be pressing down on the top of the tooth – that is the whole point of using the spacers and guaging it. it also holds the tooth steady while cutting.

I’ve had a Regency 3100 for 5 years now. I use about 6 cords a season. It’s been a wonderful stove. Two speed fan is great. Pack it tight on top of a good coal bed and it lasts all night. I’ve replace the fan motor and door gasket with no other problems.

I have a 1992 Pacific wood stove. The baffle is warped very bad. The company won’t warranty this year, if it was a 1994 or newer they said they would cover it. It’ll be about $500 by the time I’m done with it. Not happy with Pacific

Bought a pacific summit insert, the biggest they have Feb 2010. I have to agree with the others, this thing chews through wood like there is no tomorrow with little heat production. I also warped the baffle very quickly, having problems with the company to replace it. Looking for another stove, have burned this one 2 winters and very very disappointed, I would not recommend this insert to anyone.

Re: Pacific Energy “Adearly 4″, does not draft well. 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.
