Required Accessories:

Regular or Large Faceplate

The Faceplate is the component that flashes around the fireplace insert and covers the fireplace. The Faceplate is available in two sizes: 29" x 44" and 32" x 50". The size you choose should be based on the opening of your existing fireplace. Choose the 29" x 44" Faceplate size if the opening of your fireplace is less than 29" x 44". If your fireplace opening is greater than 29" x 44", you will want to select the 32" x 50" Faceplate size.

Cuttable Faceplate (18 gauge) 32 in. x 50 in.

If you have a nice arched fireplace and would like the Faceplate to conform to the shape to show the nice field stone keystone, then the Cuttable Faceplate is for you. Simply trace the shape onto the Faceplate and use metal cutting snips to cut the Faceplate to size and shape. Making a template is generally the easiest way to transfer the shape. The Cuttable Faceplate does not require a Faceplate Trim Kit.

Great job Eric & Rockford Chimmney Supply

The stove insert was received with hidden damage, no fault of Drolet or Rockford. Things happen and it delayed the install by about a month. Eric was a tremendous help and provided excellent customer service by getting another stove to as quickly as possible. He worked hard to make it rightt to satisfy their customer. The nstall of the liner down our seventy year old 25 foot chimmney went fine and srove insert went well also. Were now enjoying heating our 2,200 square foot house with the stoves radiant heat very much.i would highly recommend Rockford Chimmney Supply

My first Drolet stove install

I was impressed with the quality and look of the 1800i, as well as the client. The insert was packaged very well and was shipped with no issues. I’m excited for my client to call and tell me how their first few fires go. For the inserts size and price, I am definitely going to recommend buying this insert and hope to install a lot more.
