On the 5'r we ordered back in 2008 , we passed on the fireplace because of the cost and what heat it put out.. They have gotten better.

This weekend will be the first chance that we have had to camp and use it.. I will know after the weekend if it was worth it or not . .

On edit - after checking , it shows as 1500 watt at 5100 BTU . .
Jim ,
it is 5100BTU not watts.. I believe it is a Dimplex Model #NBDF2608 , But will have to check that out closer when I get home.. I do know that on the brochure , they advertise 5100 BTU ??
