Thanks, and thats what I want to hear. I'm hoping it will do a large chunk of the heating for close to 2800 sq ft!
That's what I'm heating with my PH, same setup in the house as you have, does most of the heating, I buy one tank of oil a year and its used for hot water too.

I'm heating about 1,900 sqft of a 40 year old house with 2x4 walls from the basement.
I never really need to run the stove hard. It has a lot more capacity to it that I never use.

I have NG for backup, so not too worried about that having to kick on during the coldest days.

I've been doing lots of reading about this stove while patiently waiting to use it. Just when you think its cranking out good heat, there is another "gear" and that will make you have to move the furniture back! I am giddy with excitement to see what this thing can really do! Hopefully we will be closed by then end of the month!
