Welcome and congratulations. How is is working for you?
 
I think its great stove. Ive seen a couple negative threads and wanted to post a happy review. Im not new to making a fire as a lifelong camper, i find the stove easy to operate. Im on my 10th burn. I seem to have found my sweet spot keeping the stove between 400°-500° heating my 800sqft first floor nicely and my whole 1200sqft house. If i load it up at 10pm i have no problem reigniting the coals at 6am. Did the install myself to save some cash my chimney is about 19' and i haven't had any issues with the downdraft. Overall im very happy with this stove. Its the only part of my remodel at 100% wich makes me like it even more
