After MUCH debate, and uncertainty ,I purchased a woodstove from Lowes for 500 dollars, in the early spring, and, at times I was gonna return it, based upon some folks reviews, but it is the BEST purchase I have ever made, my house is warm, I love watching the fire, and my new husky 445 is enough to ALMOST replace some of the other things in life I enjoy ( I wont elaborate). The stove is a little lacking in features, of course, like an ash pan, or side loading to name a few, but with seasoned wood, and a little bit of practice, I can build a nice fire, and I do have hot coals the next morning. Oh, I forgot to mention, it is the small model, I dont have model # handy,SO, thats just my two cents worth. I have learned alot from all the people on this site, thanks all! I will post pictures when I have the time.
