Country Stoves Mallard Point 32 Direct-Vent Gas Insert
Country StovesMPI32-B Overview
The Mallard Point 32 is the mid-size insert in the premium Mallard Point family. Unlike the smaller MPI27 which uses a ceramic fiber log set, the MPI32 ships with a high-definition log set, a more detailed log presentation that distinguishes the larger Mallard Point models from the entry size. Output is 34,000 BTU per hour with a turn-down to 23,000 BTU. Minimum opening is 32 wide by 19.5 tall by 16 deep.
Standard equipment includes the high-definition log set, factory-installed variable-speed blower, electronic ignition with battery backup, ceramic glass barrier, and the Total Comfort Control full-function remote. Required separately purchased accessories are a façade (Vista at 472 dollars or Full View at 561 dollars in Black), a liner kit (Black Paint, Black Enamel Porcelain, Black Tie Stacked Ceramic, or Heritage Brown Stacked Ceramic), and a surround panel sized to the existing opening (five 32-specific sizes from 41 by 26 to 46 by 38 trimmable). Optional decorative accent trims in Aged Silver are offered (Vista trim for the Vista façade; Frontier, Highliner, or Iron Rail for the Full View). The 32-size accessories use 32-specific part numbers and are priced higher than the 27 equivalents to reflect the larger panels.
