We are really loving our Manchester. We were having a draw problem and thought we would need a liner but our chimney guys suggested a new cap and it has made a ton of difference. 
Temperatures have been in the 20s several days and our living room is never under 68 degrees even when there's just coals from the load before bed the night before. During the day we are easily in the 76-78 range, sometimes we even crack a window open.
The stove is easy to run and we get amazing secondary burns. It really is beautiful and a great heat producer. We are very happy so far with our choice.
One question for anyone with the Manchester where are you getting an accurate reading on temp using an IR thermometer. I get a lot of variety in my readings so I, curious where most people are getting their best ones.
