I've had a Jotul F500 for the past 5 years and have absolutely no complaints about the stove itself or it's ability to heat my house. However I am to the point (mainly the wife when I'm on shift) where a longer over night burn would be nice. Been reading a lot about the Woodstock Progress Hybrid and really love the way it looks. So I have a few questions. 1. It's a side loader and I have my stove installed in a corner. So to facilitate the side load and be in specs I need to move the stove forward a bit. Is that as simple and using a 90 to move it forward? 2. The family loves sitting in the living room and watch the fire. Are we still going to get a good fire viewing or just a dark fire box for hours? 3. I know the Progress is a big stove, so I don't want to cook us out of the room. It's an open room with 11' ceilings. We can run the F500 pretty much wide open and not get overheated unless it's been a warmer day and the house is not to cold. We are going to finish up the winter on the Oslo and make a switch in the summer if we decide to do it. Thanks for any help!
