Well first off how is it installed? Does it have a block off plate around the liner going up the chimney? Next when you say your wood is seasoned how do you know that? Did you test it with a moisture meter? Then explain your typical burning procedure.

My Osburn 1800 insert heats both floors of my 2,300 sqft colonial. What temps are you running your stove? If you don't have one Id recommend getting a magnetic wood burning stove thermometer or an IR. When you get the chance list your install specs... block off plate.. insulation etc...
It took me several burns to get used to the 1800i and once I figured out how it runs It's been the best stove I've ever had.

My Drolet 1400i does pretty well...and the 1800i is about 25% larger...I think the Osburn is just a fancied up version of the Drolet
