Had some real cold weather to test out the Drolet Myriad last week.
-15 one morning and wind chills were even more that morning like around -25.
My house is around 2600 sq ft which 700 sq ft is a basement family room.
I have noted before this is a radiating beast of a stove.
As it doesnt use any insulation in the baffle stainless steel manifold
and the fire brick only comes up a little over half way up the sides of the firebox.
This is truely a happy medium of the old steel stoves of the past and meeting emissions.
Not the cleanest burning stove but as said does meet current emissions. (I know new standards were just released)
After reading the long post about hybrid technology and Cat only vs hybrid Technology.
I really have to say this $689 stove I got on sale is all I need. Plus I got the $200 tax credit
when I filed my taxes.
So to get to the specifics I was waking up to a nice warm house of 70-72 degrees
on all those cold mornings last week. I am getting easily 10 hour burns and an occasional
12 and 13 hour burns. Defined as having enough coals to start another wood load easily.
I dont need 20 or 30 hour burn times as loading in the morning and loading after work and
loading before bed suits me just fine. I will save around $1200 in heating cost over my electric
base board heat. As I cut my own wood.
Life is Good!!
