A friend of mine is looking at a Eng 3500 that is 3 yrs old. Asking price is $600. Anybody have one of these or any comments? I did a search but didn't get anything really helpful.

The stove has been good. I am on my third season and have not had any problems. I generally get about 6 hours out of a load of wood if you have the dampers just right. I have a 1500 sqft house with a full basement. I heat the basement because I have to dump the heat because it heats my house up so fast. I have 10 floor registers and the other night I measured the temps coming out and I was getting around 110-125 degrees. The stove handles the cold very well. Last year we had some temps close to zero and our house was 75 degrees. The one thing that I would mention would be to get a filter box and cover the motor and hook it into you cold air return. That is how I have mine and with it being hooked into the cold air return it helps keep the heat even in the house and you don't have any hot or cold spots. The only thing that I don't like is you can't hook the stove to your thermostat so it constantly pumps heat. It's not to bad but if it's a warm night you will cook. If you need anything else let me know.
