Upgraded stove and the humidity of spring

[James02]

Anybody else get an upgrade to their stove/insert, or new in general and won't be able to burn for at least 6 months....pfft....

Bummer. I got my insert back in August, then chewed my fingernails for three months. Come October, still warm. I felt like filling it with flowers or little figures, just to ease the tension. Even put some of those little tealight candles in there, just because.
So what upgrade did you get?

My yearly summer stove purchase will take place in about two months. After the first four, the fifth and sixth stove purchases lose their shine and anticipation.

I am looking forward to the stove arriving to my driveway as oppose to the traditional multi-state drive I tend to go on to acquire a stove. So, there's that.

I'm not looking forward to the following:
Disconnecting and moving the Heritage.
Disconnecting and moving the Defiant to the location where the Heritage used to sit.
Moving the 30 NC from outside (once delivered) and into the house to where the Defiant used to be.
Disconnecting and pulling out the Encore to install a block-off plate to the back half of the fireplace.
Lifting and shoving the Encore back in place.

yup got me a "use"/ brand new Oslo F500. just a few weeks ago.

Not to upset about the delay in using it because i need to do some work/save up some $$ in order to get it installed, hearth pad, liner, mantle shield, etc.

Going to be nice to see less of the oil delivery man this coming winter.

We purchased our Fireview in late February or early March. Did not install until September. That did not bother us at all and we still had to wait a few weeks because of a warm fall that year.

Upgraded a few weeks ago, yes I feel the need. Actually snuck in two break in fires during the unusual cold snap between the two heat waves just because. I hated to since the chimney was just sweept but I just . . . just . . couldn't wait.

Wow, that's a lot of stove activity - you must have one of those georgeous (& drafty) Bucks County stone houses??

Emphasis on drafty.

Also, these stone houses aren't known for their open layouts. Even if this place was tighter than a duck's ass, I'd still need at least two stoves. Most of the stove activity was due to a hard and fast learning curve I forced myself to go through to cut down on the astronomical heating costs that were headed my way.

You said a mouthful, BBAR. At over $1000 a tankful, I had to get shed of using oil. I live in a stone house too, albeit a small one.

I was able to break in the new insert and find/fix the bugs in it for next year, it is a pain putting out the cash right before summer knowing it will sit unused for 6-7 months. I keep reminding myself of the true 10-12 hour burn times I will get this winter.
