I love this forum

[drewberry24]

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the helpful information and knowledge that is provided on this forum and website. I had my Regency i3100 installed a week and a half ago and without your help I'd probably be lost, and freezing!

Thanks again and stay warm everyone!

That is what this place is all about. People helping people. Congrats on the stove and a successful install.

Glad to hear your keeping warm, did you insulate your fireplace and install a block off plate?

Hmmm...don't follow Miley so confuddled with the reference.

Hey Mellow, I'm in Salisbury too! No to both questions. It's a masonry fireplace with the lower half of the 2 story chimney on an interior wall. I asked about a block off plate and the installers did not feel as though I needed it. It was a concern of mine, so maybe it can be something I do down the road.

Nice on the cold -40 nights i wish I had the 3100, you can fit a lot of wood in that bad boy.

I would get some Roxul from Lowes, it is over in the insulation section and at a minimum stuff it up around your liner where it goes through the damper. The surround should come off easy, might be something to look at doing this weekend as it will be in the 60's again.

That the first time I've ever seen anyone load a piece of wood standing on its end

Since your in the area if you need any help let me know. What dealer did you use for getting the Regency and the install?

Thanks for the offer! I used Fireplace Supply Company out of New Church, VA.

Now that you have a wood stove you do not have to worry as much about Delmarva Power turning off your heat

I just had to shake my head about that one, they just set that program back a few years.

 

[drewberry24]

Yeah that was crazy. And our house has electric baseboard heat so it would be ridiculous to get it to comfort level. Needless to say, the baseboards have been turned off.

Drewberry I have to agree with you on the great info and people who contribute to this site. I have had my new stove for three years and would never had burned it properly without the info I got from here. Glad you like your stove, it will provide many hours of enjoyment oh and of course heat!!

How is your wood supply for the rest of this year? If you need to borrow my moisture meter to check your current wood supply let me know. The wood dealers in this area have no clue what seasoned wood is and will rip you off in a heartbeat.

 

[drewberry24]

I have a couple of cords of seasoned oak. I know the guy I got them from, and it seems to be burning fine, although I haven't done a moisture test. A meter has been on my wish list. I've been getting 8 hour burns and what appears to me to be good secondary burns. My dad used to burn wood and he hasn't mentioned anything about the wood looking like it's unseasoned.
