I finally fired the new PE Pacific insert this morning after looking at it since the install was done last spring. This was the first time I have ever started a woodstove (lots of fireplace time though). The fire stared easily and the temp on the first floor of the house rose 6 degrees in the first hour. I used a total of 4 logs and a few pieces of kindling, big difference from the fireplace. The smell from the new stove ws not as bad as I expected. Very satisfied so far!

Feeling the Heat
it is a good feeling.. I checked my weather out. It looks like at least 10 days before I have to start using my stove any.
I'm guessing you got in the low forties tonight. Six degrees in an hour on four splits isn't bad. Wait until you fill that stove up.
