Vraiment satisfait jusqu'à maintenant
We are very pleased with our new Drolet woodstove. We were so pleased with our first Drolet woodstove that when it was time to purchase one for another location, we knew it must be a Drolet as well.
This medium sized wood stove throws a lot of heat. We bought it primarily as a backup heat source for when our power is out. Based on our initial fires, it should have no issues keeping the main living area comfortable. I really like the looks of it in the corner of our living room, and the glass door provides a beautiful view of the fire. Compared to three other stoves I have used, I would definitely recommend this one.
Very happy with the high efficiency stove.
En processus d'installation, par contre je dois dire qu'il est bien protégé pour le transort
Impressive stove. Learning curve was easy with this stove. As with any stove, seasoned wood gives the best results, although we had good success with wood that was only seasoned a few months. One thing that was very important to us and I've never seen anyone comment about, is the heat shields that allow stove to be placed relatively close to combustible walls. I've done research and Drolet has the market on close clearances feature. Stove is easy to start. No smoke when door is opened. No peeling paint. Drafts great. Any negative reviews about slow starting, poor draft, ext.,most likely are due to installation issues or unseasoned wood.
Been a Drolet stove user since 2005. Last one was Adirondack. Love the Escape 1500. Your products are superbly built. Thank you
So far we are very happy with our escape 1500. We are heating a roughly 1400 sq/ft space and it seems to be doing an awesome job!
After about a month of use my door will not open and close properly. The bottom pin is defective. It heats the house well but there is not much room on top to place a pan/pot.
The Drolet Escape 1500 is a good stove for people who like efficient wood stoves that burn a small, or perhaps medium amount of firewood. I don't think that you could heat more than 500 square feet with this heat source alone, but it has been great heating that much even in temps close to or under zero. Enough to have to open windows to maintain a comfortable temperature when it's 32F out. I prefer N/S loading it with around 10" split logs and topping that with full width split logs (16" perhaps). If I had to buy another stove to heat an entire house I would buy something from Drolet with a 16x16 firebox instead. The stove is very high quality and functions as advertized if you account for all the variables burning wood has.
Great stove. Very well built & heats our whole home. Highly recommend
Our old stove was no longer useable so the new stove just needed to be placed and the chimney attached.. When we got home with the stove, the pedestal was bent. It was about 1/2" out on the front left and back right when facing the stove. We repaired this. The stove burns very nice. Everything works great. I did notify Dwayne at Castle Building Centres in Evansburg and showed him the pictures.
Excellent rapport qualité-prix, le Escape 1500 est très efficace et il est facile à contrôler. Lorsque l'entrée d'air est réglée au plus bas, il brule très lentement sans rien laisser. La chambre de combustion est relativement petite, mais la grosseur est parfaite comme chauffage d'appoint dans un bungalow standard de 1200 pieds carrés, plus gros serait trop. La qualité de fabrication est irréprochable. Un excellent produit de Drolet.
Bought Escape 1500 30 days ago. Where do I start. The stove does not let enough fresh air in to let the fire burn well. Does not burn wood fully as it leaves a stove full of large chunks of charcoal when done. Also it does not have a front lip to keep burning log pieces from coming out when you open the door. Not happy at all.
Used for 2 winters now in Zone 5 and we go through only about 2 cords to heat 2000sqft. After packing for night the house never dropped below 65F when we woke in the morning. We just had chimney swept and it produced about a pint of carbon and our wood is all a mix of piñon and juniper. Favorite part - never get smoke or soot floating out when we open door to feed the fire. It is the cleanest stove we've ever had.
WoW super poêle , très performant et super qualité.
Have not installed it yet, very rugged construction and appealing appearance in the room, motivated to purchase at an affordable price.
Stove is very simple and plain. Easy to setup. Only thing that happened to my stove is the 3 bricks in the stove broke due to bouncing around. May need to have them packaged and shipped seperately.
its a beautiful stove. It burns nice and clean and keeps the 1100 sq. ft. house warm.
Burns less wood than our last stove. Very efficient
Extremely impressed, tried it out for the first time last night with windows open for the off gassing of paint on new stove and pipes. After getting fire going I added 2 small piece's of maple and shut down air intake. The next day the wood stove was still warm 12 hours later….impressive.
Have not installed yet but I am confident that this stove will fit my needs very well. Shipping was fast and stove arrived in perfect condition.
Used it for the first time and I was pleased with my purchase. The stove had high efficiency as it used it used little wood to heat most of the night.
Joli, discret, se mêle bien au décor dans une pièce de dimension moyenne, allumage facile, chaleur constante.
The quality of the stove appears to be very good. It was a bit slow on the initial lighting compared to the model it replaced. However, it now is performing quite well. Heated the whole house sufficiently.
The horizontal pin which prevents the handle from completing full rotations fell out. It looked like it was glued by the paint. I believe this would be item 30101. The vertical pin which provides for the latch detent when the cam roller (barrel shaped) engages and holds proper closure was absolutely missing. The door latch keeper cannot perform its function. Very dissatified.
2 years review with 40 years of heating with wood stoves... Hinge broke in first month. Paint peeling on multiple spots. Burning very inefficient and short even with good well seasoned wood and doesn't even give much heat. We heat not very big apartment and it barely does it.. I'd say only good thing is ash tray under. We are very disappointed with this stove and will be changing it very soon as we had enough... Sorry but there's work to be done on this model.
Not quite as much heat as I expected from this unit but it does burn longer.
Love it. Generates a great amount of heat without all the draft pulled by the old standard fireplace. My only complaint would be that I didn't install one of these years ago.
We did alot of research looking for just the right stove. Not a ton of reviews on the Drolet Escape 1500 stoves. Ours was delivered with a damaged door gasket. Unfortunately I did not see this until after our old stove was removed and new stove installed. Going to be some very cold nights until Drolet sends me out a new gasket/glue under warranty. Other than that, it is a beautiful wood burning stove! Unbelievable heavy. We are very excited to use it and can promise we will be hugging it until we get warmed up.
Very fast shipping. Woodstove was crated well. And looks to be a great product!!!
So far, I've followed the process stated in the owners manual for curing the paint correctly. Smaller fires followed by progressively larger fires. I must say I'm surprised by the low output of heat. My old woodstove was a model from the early 80s and while it was certainly inefficient it really threw out a lot more heat, more quickly. In less than 30 minutes I could feel lot's of heat coming up through the grille in the hallway of my home with the old stove. Not so with this new one and my home is under 1200 square feet.
Product arrived with a broken firebrick. Other than that we are happy with it so far
We now have two Drolet wood stoves that heat our two homes. Both of them are well made, efficient, and beautiful.
Wonderful stove, very powerful at low price
More than impressed with the efficiency of this product! I would recommend this product to anyone! 100% satisfied!
disappointed with my stove ,burns wood to quickly and very hard to tell if it's dampened down even when it's all the way down .maximum burn time two hours start to finish.
It is a pretty decent stove for the price
It seems well built, however I haven't used it yet. There was some damage from shipping on the heat shields .
Vraiment très satisfaite de mon nouveau poêle, je le recommande, Merci Drolet !
Great stove, lights easily, does a good job of dispersing the heat into the space and burns everything to ash. Have been using for four days and very satisfied with its performance. Useful Installation and Operating Manual though it could include more about the optional blower (including minimum rear clearance needed when installed against a non-combustible wall) and guidance on use of stove top fans.
It was very expensive to install. We bought double wall, insulated pipe and chimney and had it inspected after it was installed. The place where we got the pipe and chimney sells Drolet (The Fire Escape), but we wanted the 1500 because we have a small house...It looks great and we can't wait to use it.
Nice looking stove that works great! The front-loading feature is convenient and the clear window is wonderful for watching the fire.
The door is not closing tightly which resulted in the breakage of the small part on the door latch. The door only opens about 45 degrees and it seems the hinge was not set properly. I ordered the door latch part earlier today, believing that I broke it. It seems the cause of the extra force was due to improperly fitting door. Would you please reimburse the payment for order reference number 371986, and contact me to discuss how this issue can be fixed?
Je suis satisfaite pour l'instant, à voir dans quelques années.
We just bought. Found damage once we got home we are speaking to the Canadian Tire we purchased from
Not installed yet, but look very solid. Plan on Ind. Contractor installing it.
Mon Poêle a bois n'est pas encore installé. Je magasine les tuyau de poêle a double parois. la partie intérieur entre le poêle et la cheminé. je suis sur votre site pour voir ce que vous offrez comme tuyau de poêle a double parois et a quel prix.
So far so good. Size works ! A good value for the money.
Pas la chance de l'utiliser encore mais j'ai déjà un HT-3000 et c'est une merveille. 6 étoiles sur 5 !!! Vendu Drolet à 100% !!! ?
This wood stove is total garbage! Don't waste your money.
chauffe bien pour le moment à -7 degré j'espère qui va être assez efficace lors des grand froids l'hiver prochain
Very happy with the service from eFireplaceStore.com. My order was received halfway across the country in less time than estimated. The Fed-Ex delivery employee was fantastic. The stove was set up in my uninsulated 450 sq ft work shop. Yesterday with a strong wind and the outside air temp no higher than 30 degrees F., the interior shop temp was 70 degrees F. It took a couple of hours from a very cold start to raise the temp above 50 degrees F. Not a problem as I don't want the shop tool warm. Regardless, I will insulate only the cathedral ceiling with R-10 rigid insulation and fully expect the small stove to provide adequate heat in the coldest conditions. The stove is well built, no shipping damage of any sort, and ready to attach to the 6" single wall stove pipe. Remember, you'll need the double lined stove pipe adapter if upgrading to double walled stove pipe.
It works and heats up our middle floor. I'll see how much our gas bill drops.
Too soon to tell.hope the seals last.satisfied with efficiency of burning wood
Absolutely beautiful little stove. Priced well and highly recommend so far. I have not burned in it yet, as I am awaiting an insurance inspection prior to usage, but seems just great so far and highly recommended online, based on reviews of the 1800 model.
THIS IS A GREAT STOVE, WE ARE USING IT FOR OUR GARAGE, THAT IS 2400 SF WITH 12 FT PEAK. THIS IS A MUCH BETTER ALTURNATIVE TO A UNIT THAT IS 3 TIMES THE COST WITH ALL THE SAME AND LOOKS GREAT WORKS GREAK AND EASY TO PUT IN.
We installed the escape 1500. It is a very nice looking heater. The problem we are having is that it will not shut down. Even when the draft is closed. Adjusted the door and it only made it worse. Readjust back to first set and did not make an difference. No matter what you do you can not open the door with getting smoke in the room.
The stove looks great. Can't wait to try it out. Buy Canadian...
Nous somme Tres heureux de notre poêle escape 1500 bon rendement et autonomie. Le seule bémol cest que nous n'avons pas vue le poêle en demo. Seulment sur papiers de montre . Nous somme un peu déçu de la grosseurs de la chambre a combustion jai du refendre tous mon bois . Je la trouve limite petite, Mais sinon #1 rendement impecable bonne chaleur installé au sous sol . Maison de 1200pi2
Très bon très satisfait je le recommande
Je vais réaliser une économie de bois, il dévore moins rapidement les bûches et c'est très agréable de voir le feu de foyer!
There's a trick to lighting this stove. So far I've filled the house full of smoke when the chimneys cold, once the fire is going it seems to work well. I'm told by the dealer if I had an insulated chimney, instead of my brick I wouldn't have a big of a problem.
shipping took 1 week it came crated and undamaged
I originally looked for a box stove (maybe even antique) that could use full length pieces of firewood. After learning about the Drolet Escape 1500 product at the store where I bought it and sending a picture to my wife, the decision was made quickly that this is the right product and also allows viewing the fire in my new office at home. The manufacturer's rebate promotion was the icing on the cake.
