I love this stove. Installation was easy. Have been using it for approx 10 days and have acquired some simple yet effective techniques that have provided great, even, easily controllable heat across a range of needs. Cleaning is easy (unlike my prior stove which had me gnashing my teeth every 2 or three days), and it is just a pleasure. Tho we have only gone into the 20s which around here is moderate if not balmy, I can already see how this stove will exceed my needs for this 100 year old, 1800sq ft, reasonably but by no means perfectly insulated home.
Have only one question. Should the ceiling baffles in the firebox be all the way back allowing gases to exit the front of the stove, or should these baffles be all the way forward allowing gases to exit in the rear. The re is about a 2-3 inch gap where gases exit, and the flue is at the rear. I can experiment, but thought to ask this saged group. It seems to me with baffles back, gases exiting forward, the air flow cascades down the front of the glass keeping it clean, roll along the bottom and up the back to exit in a big circle back at the front. If the baffles are forward, the exit will be at the back of the firebox which is almost directly into the flue. Will call the company of course, but thought to ask advice here.
