I was so excited by my wittus ego install i had to burn it last night. IT WAS AWESOME. woke up to 75 degrees burning for alittle over 8 hours (1/2 bag of pellets). Pictures are not posted yet because im installing a masonry hearth and that has taken some time. Thank you SmokeyBear and everyone else, it was installed with a 12 inch vertical and OAK. Great Ambience and the woman loves it!
