Hello All,
Looking for a bit of help with the Napoleon 1100c and comments on the Hudson River Catskill, and this sites seems to have a wealth of knowledge.
I am purchasing a new stove and interested in the Napoleon 1100c. I am hesitant to make the purchase due to conflicting information on firebox size, and subsaquent log size. Napoleon's web site states the firebox dimensions are (13 1/2w x 18h x 12d), while the manuel states the dimensions are (13 1/2d x 18w x 12h). I have tried contacting Napoleon without any luck.
I am concernd the stoves may only accomidate logs of 12-13" which are harder to come by than 16-18". Does anyone have any experience with this stove or can comment on this delema?
I am also looking at the Hudson River Catskill. It seems this stoves is a different animal than the Napoleon; lower BTU/hr and a bit smaller. I can't seem to find much info on this particular stove. Perhaps it is not very popular and written about for a reason? Does anyone have exerience with this stove or can comment on quality, length of burn, efficiency etc?
Thanks,
Matt
