We got our stove installed back in November, I believe. It's the only heat source in our home. I have to say, this is probably the single best investment we've made since we started building this house. It is very efficient, only burning about 1/4th what I'm used to burning. The coals last forever. I normally load 2-3 times during daylight hours to keep it burning above 400 degrees surface temperature, but when I damper it down for the night I've gone as long as 26 hours between reloads... and still had coals. I haven't had to use my lighter once since the first time I started it up back in November.
I am so in love with this stove! We have broken the record for the coldest winter here in northern Wisconsin. We passed our 50th day below zero last week, and it doesn't look like it'll be warming up any time soon. But we'll be roasty toasty in our house thanks to this stove. Love, love, LOVE it!
