      Update

      The stove arrived and the top of the front piece had scrape marks on both sides of the top piece. A little more cardboard packaging to separate some metal would have prevented that scraping. Then, ~5-6 days ago, I received 1 can of spray touch up paint, then 2 cans more the next day. I have not attempted the touch up yet.

      Also, the first 2 Cuttable Faceplates were bent; I sent photos. The 3rd one arrived in good condition. What do I do with the 2 damaged faceplates?

      QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

      Ask a Question
      • Where is it made?

        These are made in Canada. 

        Thank you, 
        FyreDirect

      • How big of split wood would be most efficient for the Drolet 1800i a larger split or smaller? going in to my second year of owning mine and still trying to figure out where it burns the best! Thanks

        The recommended log length is 16'', as for larger split or smaller it doesn't really matter, bigger one will produce more heat.

        Over time you will find your comfort zone and what you like.


      • Do you sell the 6" offset that goes on top of the insert?

        Yes please see by clicking here.

      • Size of inside depth

        The Firebox depth is 16 1/2"

      • How deep is the inside of fire box

        The Firebox depth is 16 1/2"

      • Do I need to install a fresh air intake can it's work with out it I have steel case please let me know I want to buy one if it can work with out it

        Hi you do not need a fresh air intake to make the stove work, yet it does make it more efficient.

      • Does this product come with faceplate

        No, the faceplate is not included. You have three options for the faceplate (regular or large) with brushed nickel trim or cuttable faceplate: AC01357, AC03370 or AC03375

        Thank you, 
        Melissa

      • This is my first time purchasing a wood stove insert. I want to purchase one online, but need help figuring out a source for someone to install it properly. Does your company have any referrals to finding an installer in the Seattle/Tacoma area? I’m looking to purchase the Drolet Escape 1800-I Wood Insert for my fireplace, and need someone to install it that is insured and certified.
