I finally got the new stove installed today! A St.Croix Prescott XLP with selkirk direct-temp venting and a skytech wireless T-stat all on top of a home built raised hearth pad! Stove is running flawless so far and is a real heat throwing monster. Have been running it tonight on heat range 3 on the smart stat setting and it is doing a fantastic job keeping it 74 °F in the house and going to low fire after about 30 min. of running! Its 15 °F outside right now and very warm and comfortable all through the house. I just want to thank all the forum members who gave their time and answers to my questions as i am trying to learn about these stoves and wanted to make the right choices! Counldn't have done it without all your help then and in the future!! Will talk again soon !
