Great Unit,

"Was all I expected and more. Construction was well thought out. Well made and materials of good quality. Directions for assembly need some work. also bought the air filter and optional air injector / thermostat unit. The wiring for it does not match up to the diagram included. Not a problem for me as I have knowledge of electrical and electronic control systems. Only problems with assembly were the tight quarters for adding air filter system to rear of unit after installing blowers. The remote thermostat functions well but looks a little cheap, will be replacing it with a digital style. Unit was crated very well and arrived completely undamaged. I was promised a 14 to 19 day delivery date and it came in 7 days. I just wish I would have waited a few more weeks to order because it has gone down in price since I got mine. BTW this furnace is much more costly right from the factory than it is here. I have looked at many with the same specs, they are more costly and very cheaply made. Most even charge extra for the blowers that are standard on this one."

"Very happy, was using K-1 heaters @ 4.80 a gallon not only is this stove alot cheaper to heat with it is a lot warmer in the house. Very easy to set up and use. Was very smokey the first time it was used but after that, all is good. It does warn you about the smoking in the directions."

Great Purchase,
January 14, 2008
By StevenSfrom Jeffersonton, VA
"I love this furnace. Originally I couldn't keep it dampered enough. It was making my three story 3800 square foot, poorly insulated house 80-85 degrees on hard wood - hotter on soft wood. After a few weeks worth of "tweaking" I was able to damper it down properly. My draft was too much (even with the dampers completely closed) and I have to let the fire go almost completely out before I add wood. It starts back up easily every time. I am familiar with wood stoves so this was a little bit of an adjustment for me. Also by way of a warning: listen to the minimum clearances. I thought they were being overly cautious until the electricity went out after I had just added some wood - my nearest wall probably got 130 degrees. I will be moving the furnace over a bit more. :) Another warning: the first time you "fire it up" (giggle) the furnace shell will smoke a lot (I guess to cure the paint etc.) so be ready to open some windows and fan the smoke detector - my suggestion is to start early in the morning and open the windows. Run it good and hot for a day and it will be great from then on out. Nut shell: Great product but be ready to do it right with the installation (ducting in and out, check the draft, etc.) It cost me another $800.00 to hook it up after I got the furnace home."
