Our take on the Englander Blue Ridge 500-I Wood Insert ESW0014

The Englander Blue Ridge 500-I is a wood-burning insert that drops into an existing masonry fireplace and turns it into a heater rated at 17,200 to 57,800 Btu/hr. Its 3.5 cu ft firebox takes logs up to 22 inches, and a ceramic glass door and vermiculite baffle help it burn cleaner and throw more heat into the room than an open hearth. It vents through a 6-inch round flue collar and fits masonry fireplaces only. The overall box is 50 inches wide, 32 inches high and 28-7/8 inches deep, so measure the opening and hearth before buying. No current store price was provided, so check the price history on this page for where it sits against its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is the Englander Blue Ridge 500-I worth it?
If you have a masonry fireplace and burn wood regularly, it converts an inefficient open hearth into a 57,800 Btu/hr heater. The value depends on installation cost, since a 6-inch liner and pro fitting are usually required.
Will it fit my fireplace?
It needs a masonry fireplace with an opening large enough for a 50-inch-wide, 32-inch-high, 28-7/8-inch-deep body. It is not rated for prefab or zero-clearance fireplaces.
What size logs does it take?
Logs up to 22 inches long fit in the 3.5 cu ft firebox. Split them smaller for easier loading and steadier burns.
Does it need a blower or electricity?
No blower is listed, and the insert burns wood without power. A blower can help move heat into the room, but it is an add-on, not a requirement.
When is it cheapest?
Wood inserts usually discount in spring and early summer, outside heating season. Check the price history on this page to see the recent low.
