I do think I will be fine, just remember if you think you want a radiant stove vs a convective one they are out there (many of them) just keep asking and you will get the answeres you need. By the way I did not have to load the Nashua that often, my house seems to heat farily easily.wkpoor said:Just got done a minute ago talking to my wife about possibly trying out a new stove. I too love the massive heat that pours off the old Nashua. What I don't like is filling it full of wood every 2-3 hrs. Been reading about the long burn times and I'm getting curious. However just can't quite make the jump and would hate to install another stove and find out on a 20 degree blowing day that I wish I had the old monster in there. Don't mind throwing the logs in on those days.oldspark said:My old Nashua is setting out in my shop so if I freeze this winter I will put it back in (I might just shoot myself first).
I liken this to the pellet stove debates. Some likke them and rave about how well the warm the house. I had one many moons ago and I think they suck. My best example of a pellet stove it to point 2 hairdryers at yourself on lowest setting. Thats about how much heat they give off. My FIL still uses it today and when ever I walk in the basement where it is I don't hardly feel a thing. Seems a waist to me.
