Harman P43 vs. Quadrafire Classic Bay

[richg]

Harman by a landslide. I owned a Quad 1200, got disgusted with it and traded it to a neighbor for a wood chipper. It was a replaced with a P61A that was a vast improvement. Here's the review

What I was trying to say is I really like my cb1200. I don't have anything bad to say on how it's built like it was stated earlier. But mine was made in 2004 which might make a difference. I'm currently putting an OAK on my stove to see if it improves the performance. I do have a question my pad is tile is that going to effect how the OAK performs since it draws from underneath?

Not a bit, it's just outside air. I think the main reason it draws from the bottom is to keep it cool down there.

..... Also might need a daily scare to keep a nice flame.......

Jay, I've read about a lot of things that people do to keep their stoves running well, but SCARING it is definitely a new one.....do you wear a scary halloween mask, or flash a pic of Krooser to it? :lol:

Krooser sent me this and said this would scare anyone witin a one mile radius.
