I live up here along the front range in northern Colorado and I been using one of the old style potbelly stoves to heat my home here now better part of 16 years, and on average, I burn about 4 chords a year; give er take. I've tried various heat reclaimers from time to time but was never satisfied with their heating capacity. Seems they just didnt move alot of air. Although the little extra heat was nice I was never really impressed with their performance. Then last year I picked up one of these heat reclaimers and i was blown away. This thing is actually really amazing in that it heats my (modest 1200sq') home in no time at all. I mean its like 20 degrees outside and i can keep my windows open. Anyhow, the website touts cleaner emissions and 'dramatic reduction in creosote buildup' which i dont notice any difference yet. (i'm waiting till next year when i'm gonna replace all the flue pipe with fresh new stuff), but i was really impressed that i went through only about half my wood pile during the season. Can't beat that I say. Have any of you have any experience with one of these?
