I think I might end up with an Englander 17-VL and I was wondering about how hot it must get underneath the stove in the "wood storage" area. Seems like it could be a fire hazard maybe? What do you guys think?

Curious is that your actual install?
Yes.

How do you like it? Also, is that a cement floor it is sitting on or just tile on wood subfloor?

Hi Joe,
Today is the first full day I've been able to burn (just installed it yesterday...)
It is too soon to be able to say much about it, but thus far I like it very much!
The stove is on a painted concrete floor.
The wood storage area is pretty well designed to stay cool, but, there is also another roughly 1" space between the shelf the wood sits on, and the actual floor.
With the stove running at about 400 degrees, the floor under the stove is 75 degrees.

This is in reference to the kindling under the stove I take it?

Edit: by the way folks, just a FYI, this stove was designed by a young lad named Corey that was a frequent flier on hearth.com. Englander picked up the young promising fella and put him to work in the industry (a life goal of his). Congrats to Corey. Of course, now that he is rich and famous, he doesn't visit very often >:-( but Mike still shows up.
Just thought you might be interested.
48rob, think you could get a picture of the secondary flames? Or maybe even a video?
