Pros. and Cons. of a convection deck-

My BKK Parlor does not have the convection deck like the Ultra does.
Are there significant benefits to having one, or not?
Assume the blowers are always on, low setting.
Thanks, JB

rdust- with the deck on, did your heat feel like it "traveled" farther in front of the stove? That may sound weird, but ...
My stove is in a corner location. Close to it are the stairs going to the upper bedrooms. The heat just rolls up the staircase.
In front of the stove is the area I want to keep warmer. The heat will find it's way up on it's own.
Do you think the deck would help blow that hot-air forward, enough? It's over 35' to my front room.

Only thing I will say is that if you need to cook, as in power outage, it's really in the way. We have a gas range now, so no worries there.

Actually, the NC-13 is going to handle cooking and hot water, once I get it installed. I plan to have it modded and installed next spring.
(yeah, right )

Should I mock one up? I have plenty of spare OSB.
