The Drolet Escape 1800-I is a large EPA-certified wood-burning insert that fits into a masonry fireplace and turns it into a 75,000 BTU heater. It comes with a blower, air damper, ash lip and ceramic glass door, so it distributes heat into the room rather than mostly up the chimney. It suits homeowners with an existing masonry fireplace who want serious supplemental heat and a traditional fire view. Against smaller inserts it offers more firebox room and higher output, but it needs a masonry fireplace and a proper liner, and its 405 lb steel body is a two-person installation.
