Who It's For
In a big house, a small insert keeps the room it sits in warm while the far bedrooms stay cold, and you end up reloading it all evening. You need a firebox big enough to heat the whole place and hold a fire through the night. If your home runs up to 3,000 square feet and wood is a main heat source, the Summit Insert is the one built for that job. Go smaller and you trade the whole-house warmth for a busy evening at the wood box.
What Makes It Special
The Summit has the largest firebox of the insert line and takes logs up to 20 inches. That means fewer, bigger loads and burns of approx. 8–12 hours—load it at bedtime and there is still a bed of coals when you get up.
Two temperature-activated, variable-speed blowers come standard to move the heat out of the fireplace and into the house. Logs load straight in, front to back, over a cast iron warming shelf and ash lip.
Possible Downsides
- It is built for spaces up to 3,000 square feet. For a single room or a smaller home, the Vista or Super insert is the better size.
- Traditional arched door only. There is no contemporary version of this size in the insert line.
If you want one fireplace insert to heat a large home through the night, the Summit Insert is the right decision. Winter mornings start in a warm house, with coals already waiting in the firebox.
The Summit Insert takes a door in Metallic Black, Nickel, or Brushed Nickel and a standard or beveled oversized surround.
