So far so good... heating the cabin with nothing but wood. It's currently 24 outside and it's a toasty 73 inside. It's been at least 70 inside all day. Mrs. Irish and I have been working from home all say and it has been nice. The upstairs bedrooms are cooler, which is what I want. I like it to be cool when I sleep, but since the floor joist and sub-flooring are exposed to the floor below at least the floor is warm, which is nice. We're watching Life Below Zero, so it even feels colder outside, but Mrs. Irish has a pot of her homemade vegetable soup on the propane stove so I'll be warm inside soon...

Had the exact stove in the basement at my old house.

Had the exact stove in the basement at my old house. it's a good one ... i've learned to build really hot, smaller fires (usually 3 logs) & get it piping *ss hot vs loading it up & idling it ... once you have a good coal bed, it's off to the races to maintain the temps inside my home ... i only run this when it's cold like this; 40's-60's i just let my heat pump run ... there are times when i wish i had glass doors so i could see the fire ... but the main purpose of this thing is to heat the house; that's romantic enough for me LOL

I'm still learning how to use mine the most efficiently. The one thing I have learned is in the mornings when it's cold is to get it going again with some maple splits and it gets things heated up pretty quick and then to keep a good steady heat later on add in larger splits of hickory and oak.

Hickory puts out more BTU's than any other COMMON firewood available in the South.... http://worldforestindustries.com/forest-biofuel/firewood/firewood-btu-ratings/it smells good burning hickory, too! i love burning hickory when i can get it ...
