I had one for two years and sold it and bought a Solo 40. Like you said it is a wood monster. I burned around ten cords both years, but I am in interior Alaska. I burned fire killed pine and it created a lot of creasote, so I cleaned the stack every month. Sold it to my brother-in-law and he loves it. Paid $3700 for it, not sure what they are going for now.

I just installed one this year. It's an add-on to my oil burner. I find it works great once I got the hang of it. I'm using about a cord of birch a month. Runs at around 160-180 degrees. My house is approx 1400 square feet, with 4 zones. I paid $2200 for it.
