I did this for a couple reasons, first I did not have a good way of moving heat throughout the whole house with this installed in the dining room area as I have very high ceilings and a addition added on. Second I really did not want to carry pellets up the steps daily. This was installed in place of a wood furnace that was previously there. I removed the grill and added a 3 1/2 x 14 x 8 boot stack and then I added a relay for the fan in the duct work to go on and off with the blower in the stove. Also added a 24v relay for my wi-fi thermostat. Been up and running for a couple weeks now. We were in the teens for lows a couple days and it keeps up easily. I'm curious how well it will do in below zero but will probably have to wait till next winter to find out.
