Have had the unit in for 2 weeks and very satisfied with it. Really like the direct vent feature. No fumes in the house and no drafts created from the combustion air intake. The listing says "Includes Wall Thimbles". The unit did not come with wall thimbles as I define them and none are listed on the parts list. The unit does come with a wall plate, a vent cap, a vent-air intake pipe and a vent pipe. The frame has a 3 1/2 inch heat shroud that goes into the wall. The unit uses the vent air intake pipe and the heat shroud as a "thimble". This design seems to work well. The vent air intake pipe gets hot to the touch but as long as you follow the installation instructions it seems to work fine. I am satisfied with the unit.

I installed it myself with a few changes from the instructions to fit my needs. ie: It's a temp for me so I have it hooked to a 40lb tank ( twice the size of a grill tank ) so it only needed a small regulator ( with hose already attached ) which I picked up at the local hardware store. This allows me to get propane where ever I want because it connects like a gas grill. A few things you should know if doing the install yourself. The longer the feed hose or line the longer it takes to prime, be patient. Second is when you fire this thing up it's going to smoke, ( mfg oils and new paint ) like smoke a lot. It smelled to me like rotted fish burning. Yum, So be prepared to open windows. Oh, and the instructions do not mention the shroud, the hole you cut needs to accommodate the outer pipe and shroud so the mounting bracket fits flush against the wall. Other than that it seems to be a good reliable unit. I've had it on for 4 days now and on low it seems to keep the room ( 600 sf ) at 60 degrees. because there is no way to set to a certain temp you will have to try different dial settings and make note of what temp it keeps the room.

This thing is the worst thing I have ever bought online. Sometimes takes an hour trying to get it lit and keeping it lit. Works somewhat OK once lit but can be very frustrating. Sometimes sparks, sometimes not. Sometimes lights but goes out. Package didn't appear to have any damage when delivered but several rivets were broke off inside unit causing misalignment of gas valve etc. It must have been damaged before shipping.

It looks like a good product. However, I don't have it hooked up yet. Winter is still a couple of months away, at this time.

I installed it with a friend. Had to cut the exhuast tubes for the distance between the inside and outside wall. Had professionals run the propane lines. Used in an old garage that now has a concrete floor and a ceiling fan to disperse heat. Approx: 500 sq ft
