I wouldn't say Im going against the grain, but we can agree to disagree my friend. I also understand what you are saying about why take the risk, but I just dont see there being one.

You mean our floor plans? That was made with Google Sketchup. It's a free program that we've used to build our entire house, chicken coop, and some other smaller projects like getting a layout of the land. It's easy to use if you watch a couple starter videos on youtube.
Here are a few things we've done with it: The Evolution of Design
After a full season of burning, we finally had the chimney swept. We got enough creosote to barely fill a thimble. I'm pretty impressed. The stack is clean, and after a quick wipe down the stove looks brand new.
Still very much in love with this stove. I almost can't wait for cooler weather so I can light it up again.

WOW....that's not much creosote. I got about 1/2 gallon after a full season in my PH. The stove is truly amazing!After a full season of burning, we finally had the chimney swept.

Bet if it was a Blaze King she was running you'd believe her. Couldn't have anything to do with the ads constantly running on the site, could it? Nah, I'm too cynical.
I ain't buying a thimble full from a full burn season with any stove. She needs to get a better sweep. 
The only thing that has anything to do with the sponsor's ads running on the site is the fact that we can keep this joint going since 1995 without charging for it. Used to be Woodstock ads all the time until they pulled their sponsorship.

Have to wonder why they pulled as it seems like they were getting their money's worth - lot of Woodstock fans around here.
I wasn't kidding. He did a good job sweeping - I watched him do it and checked when he was done. And I'm a she, begreen.
Had our first burn the other day. Been firing it up overnight and letting it die down during the day. We've got more than enough wood for this year, so we've been working on finishing the next two year's worth. My husband is drawing up plans for a wood shed because the tarps we stretched over the wood pile this past winter got shredded in the wind and ice.
Next time we have it swept I'll have to video record it for proof.

Our first burn season with the ideal steel this year. I got a coffee can of creosote mixed with fly ash (rounded over) from our 26' stack. I hope the IS delivers similar performance here.
Brought in some wood and measured fresh splits today, 14 - 16% on six larger splits. Hopefully that will help the IS run very clean.

Based on the reviews from Beta Testers on the other forum, I think you will be very pleased with the performance of the IS. And your really dry wood will make things even better.
