Vermont Castings 'Montpellier' fireplace insert REVIEWS

Posted by pilarica (My Page) on Sat, Jan 17, 09 at 15:30
I started reading because I've been in the process (for one year already) of buying a wood burning fireplace insert and the most recent possibility is the Vermont Castings "Montpelier". I live 1/2 hr from Montpelier VT, by the way but this is not the reason of my choice.
My fireplace has a wide entrance of 30" and narrows progressively to 22.5" wide at 14" deep and even worse as it gets deeper. As you might know, most inserts require wider areas at the back so that made me check into so many brands.
I am veeery picky: I want high quality, the best performance, ease of use, good looks of course and a fair $price$. So that's why it's taking so long to find the right insert. So far the only one that seems to fit my requirements and the size of my fireplace and my house is the non-catalytic (I prefer this type) Vermont Castings "Montpelier" but it is very new in the market and I can't find consumer reviews any place on-line.
ANYONE WHO HAS A VC MONTPELIER AND CAN SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE? PLEASE, DON'T GET SIDETRACKED AGAIN FROM THE ORIGINAL QUESTION. Thanks: Pilarica (female if you must know) from Vermont. |

Hi Pilarica-
I have the same fireplace size issues you have and also live 1/2 hour from Montpelier VT! I installed the MOntpelier insert in September and have used it a few times. I do have some issues/complaints and if you want to shoot me an email I'll explain in detail or maybe you could come by depending on where you live?.... Smoke fills the room most time the door is opened and the beautiful glass door that they sell you on, builds up with soot and you cant see the fire. Cleaning the glass is a pain but can be done and then you might get one or two cleanish days before the glass covers over again. It does look nice and the heat it supplies so far has been adequate.
