Hi,
I am looking for advice on replacing my Winterwarm large with something different. It's about 10 years old and I think it's pretty played out. Over the years the cover over the catalytic converter broke, and it still ran fine after that but this year I think it finally died. The grate on the bottom I had to have welded and the damper needs to be replaced, it wont close or open properly. It won't properly seat in the "clips" at the top.
I really was not happy with this unit anyhow, I would have to keep this thing loaded and feed it about ever 4 to 6 hours to keep my house ( about 1600 sq ft ) at 70. I have electric heat so I use wood as my only heat source. I average about 6 cords of wood per year.
What are your thoughts on a different unit to get, I would like to keep the price lower as anyone else would but would pay more for a quality unit.
Thanks in advance for any input you can offer
Tom
