Room Size (Square feet): 350 | House Size: 1600
Bought in 2009 , Price Paid: $1400
Location : , NY , - Email of Reviewer:
Purchased from: Fireplace Retail Store - Woodburning Warehouse


Likes: Compact size, ease of use, practical, dust pan, porcelain finish, quality castings, quick to start and heat-up.



Dislikes: Small firebox.


Comments: This is our first wood stove and we use it to supplement our natural gas hydronic heat system. It works well and keeps our old brick house (1836) with little insulation nice and cosy (73 degrees in the room with the stove and mid to upper 60s everywhere else).
Only downside is that you have to feed it every 3 hours due to the small firebox.
Conclusion: I'd buy this stove again in a heartbeat!
