I just wanted to say thank you for all the information I have received on this web site from the experienced wood burners. Although I've been burning wood for the last 8 years in an open hearth, this will be the first year that I'll be getting the BTU benefit of an insert. I purchased a regency I2400 back in April and it was installed in my fireplace in May. Today's oil cash price is listed at $4.75 a gallon. The insert should help me save some money. I just finished splitting a bunch of red oak yesterday. 6 cords added to the two that were already seasoned. I should be good to go. I'll be looking to purchase some hardwood logs to cut and split to get seasoned for the next couple of years. I also invested in a 27 ton Troy Built splitter that I got at Lowe's back in April. It is a back saver and works really well. Thanks again and I hope to get more info off this sight.
Good to go!

Good choice, that looks like a really nice stove. You sound like a man with a plan. If you get a day or night in the 60's, fire the stove up and break it in while you can have all the windows open. It'll smoke a bit for the first few fires as the oils and paint bake off. Then you'll be good to go this fall. Take a picture or two of that baby fired up and post them.

I have the sister to that insert and I love it. Ditto on the break-in. Small fires at first, then cook it up to burn off nastiness.

Maybe he is small enough to use for cleaning the creasote out of the stove like the ferrets are?
