We used an old Country Flame for the last 7 years. Great stove that kept the house toasty warm - short burn times, tho. We opened up into the addition which moved the sq ft from 1000 to 2000. I installed a chimney in the addition (an open great room) and put in a old Kodiak we got for $100 as a temporary second stove. Burning 2 old stoves was really eating thru the woodpile but it's been near impossible to find the larger Englanders in this area. Til yesterday! A friend in town had an Englander 30 he bought but never installed and finally came to the conclusion he never would. So now it is sitting outside my house doing a break-in burn looking beautiful. It's been out there with 3 smaller splits cruising at 500+ for 2 hours and it looks like it's only halfway thru the wood. I've already had the Kodiak burn completely out in the same amount of time with similar splits. Tomorrow I'll move it inside and sell off the Kodiak. I need to buy a blower first, but if this stove can push out enough heat to the rest of the house, I can remove the Country Flame as well. In the meantime, I am dreaming of burn times longer than 3 hours and a woodpile that lasts forever.
