Hi all...Well ive been looking and looking different stoves and different dealers. Found myself very comfortable with Czar in chicopee ma. Also liked mcceny in holyoke. Found one bad place and boy when they are bad they are bad. This guy coudn't wait for me to leave. Anyway i bought a enviro ef3 for a 1000 sq house. Two things i learned here is bigger is better and a clean stove is a happy stove. The only thing im worried about is the ef3 dosen't have a thermostate.and i hope i don't regret not getting one. I already downloaded the owners manual so i hope im pretty informed by the time i fire her up. I do have a new oil furnace backup that i bought 5yrs ago. My old one went in the middle of the winter so i didn't have time to debate what i wanted to do,so just replaced it. (big mistake) $400.00 for a 100 gal of oil is sick. Hopefuly i never have to do that again. Well thanks for letting me pick your brains and im sure if i need more help you people will be there for me........thanks
