I'm working on a deal for a new ESW nc13 and would love to pick it up next week. I will replace my current stove and meet all clearances with my current set-up. It will be a simple switch.
How bad is the paint curing smell on the 13 and steel stoves? Is it worth doing the driveway burn? I will need to call in some help to get it into position and didn't want to leave it out overnight to get wet when it snows. I know I can cover it after is cools but during the burn it could get really wet if it storms the day I bring it home.
I also thought I read a thread about steel stoves not needing a break in fire, is that true?
Oh one more thing, anything special need done before firing her up the first time?
