Drolet Escape 1800-I Wood Burning Fireplace Insert — EPA-Certified | 75,000 BTU | Heats 2,100 Sq Ft | Masonry Fireplace Upgrade

Warning: Wood-burning fireplace inserts must only be installed inside an existing masonry fireplace and never in a wooden or combustible structure.

The Drolet Escape 1800-I is a high-efficiency EPA-certified wood burning fireplace insert designed to transform an existing masonry fireplace into a powerful, clean-burning heating system. With 75,000 BTU/h of output, a 2.4 cu ft firebox, an included blower, and 8-hour burn times, it converts an inefficient open hearth into one of the most effective supplemental heating solutions available for larger homes.

Why the Escape 1800-I Wins

An open masonry fireplace is one of the least efficient heating systems in a home — it pulls warm air from the room and sends it up the chimney while delivering minimal usable heat. The Escape 1800-I reverses that entirely. Its 2.4 cu ft firebox delivers up to 75,000 BTU/h directly into the room, while the included blower actively circulates warm air rather than letting it pool near the firebox.

The 1.54 g/h EPA emissions rating makes it one of the cleaner-burning inserts in this output class — you get more heat per log with less particulate output than most competitors. At $1,799 for the insert-only version, it's a strong value for a 75,000 BTU EPA-certified insert with a lifetime warranty.
