Greetings everyone -
I've lurked a little here while doing research but I finally got my stove put in, so I figured I'd better join the forums!
I got a Morso 1440, which is a small convection stove. I wish I could have gone bigger, but we have a small house and not much room. This one had the lowest wall-to-stove clearances I could find. Anyway, we'll see how this goes and maybe once I get the hang of it I'll get a bigger stove with an added heat shield to keep the clearances low.
I think I'm doing well... wood seems to burn really well (just using mixed hardwoods for now), and the stove always lights right up - don't seem to have any problems with draft. I THINK I'm getting good secondary combustion - there's a lot of flame at the top of the firebox.
Anyway... Just wanted to introduce myself and my stove. My whole extended family is from Connecticut and they all use wood heat in some form. I've admired it for years, but I'm still a newbie so go easy on me!
