This is hands-down the best addition I have ever made to my home. I has the feel of a wood stove like Vermont Castings, but heats my entire 2,600 SF home. It is more efficient and better for the environment, has drastically reduced my heating costs and has improved the overall coziness and atmosphere of my home. I even love the slight scent that it kicks off as it reminds me of having a real fire going in a fireplace.
