Well, got it installed yesterday just in time for the credit. I was at work and wife was upstairs during the install so not really sure how you can tell if its a good install or not. Little tough starting up since it is in the basement and the cold air pushing down. Got massive smoke in the basement, waited for it to clear then I tried flash fire further back and it worked a lot better!
The fan wasn't screwed in and wasn't kicking on. I screwed it to the stove and it started after 3 minutes. (By the way how cool does it have to get to shut off automatically?) I was hoping i could get it warm enough to heat the upstairs as well, but I don't think its going to work, can't get the hot air up the stairs. Guess I will have to have the furnace still going for that.
I don't have a thermometer yet, so can't tell how hot its going, so that is my next purchase. Any advice on what thermometer?
Also after a night burn, do you get a bunch of black on the window? Anyway to keep that off while you are asleep?
Overall very happy with the purchase, just afraid I will have to get a stove for upstairs as well....that is definitely not in the budget.
