That's the stove I wanted but certain people around here insisted otherwise.
Nice clean set up fullbore...if you're a 24/7 burner I'm thinking you'll be in for a pleasant surprise after insulating the basement. I esp like the wider than required minimum distance in front of the hearth too.

This will be my 3rd year burning 24/7. I was easily hitting temps of 90* in the basement when it was unfinished. I think I'll be able to conserve a little on the wood consumption this year. I can't wait.
On average, there was about a ten degree difference between the floors. Most often, the basement was 85*(burning cherry at 2/3 capacity) and the first floor was around 75*. This year I'll be burning oak and hickory, so I'm hoping for a noticeable difference.
looks great, that looks like it can hold alot of wood. what kind of burn times do you get out of her?
nice job on the basement and I know you're enjoying that stove.
just got mine lit before xmas last year and wouldnt have gone any smaller
enjoy

Thanks for all the comments. I was easily getting 12 hours burn time with cherry and 14 hours with oak. The firebox is big, but I would have bought bigger stove. LOL!!
Real nice job on the cellar...total pro job.
Love the top quality equipment you have.
If I had my stove in that same spot the house would self combust or melt the carpet; whichever came first.
I used to get the; "Dad, what's that plastic smell?" = melted vinal floor through 2 concrete boards (resolved by adding a third layer under brick and sheetmetal)
Keep us updated later this fall.
Would like to see a night pic with the door open full crank!
Did I already say I love the stove
