Hi, I have been operating a 12 FP all this season. I have read all the posts regarding this stove. I know it is not very popular. I have spent tons of time learning this stove and overall have had good results. However, I have seen the 13 in action and am very impressed with the operation as well as it is EPA certified.
Home Depot has the 13 on sale for 537.00. My question is how much more of a learning curve will it be getting used to operating the 13?
From what I have read here people say that it is very hard to burn the 12 if you do not have good seasoned wood. Is that true?
If I don't have any difficulty burning the wood I have in the 12 does that mean the wood will burn more easily in the 13? I have read some conflicting posts.
I got the 12 to heat the mancave and the heat circulates well through most of the 1st floor with ceiling fans and the blower. I think I would get more heat with less wood with this stove.
I have learned so much from this forum. I swear I am addicted to it. I thank all the "seasoned" burners for the excellent advice.
