Hey guys. First fire this morning for my new PE Alderlea T6. Doing a couple small burns to break her in. It was 40 this morning here in CT. Will get a burn tomorrow morning. Love the looks of this stove. Looking forward to this winter!

Just how it was taken. Very flat.

Stove holds the heat for quite a long time after it’s out.
I noticed this from the first overnight fire. The even heat made a big difference in reducing room temp swing when compared to the F400 it replaced.

Same here. I like I can put 2 pieces in at 7am, 2 more at 2, then load it at night and house is not boiling. It was a high of 55 the other day with lows in the 30s. House stayed between 74-78. This is with the damper closed within 10 min of adding wood. This stove will crank the heat if you need it.

Air control was closed or flue damper?
