    Englander insert, 1.8 c/f firebox..... :emb:
    We expect to be stoking ALOT, but crossing my fingers it can't be as bad as last winter. We did extensive sealing/insulation this summer. Last winter was brutal:shiver:, old stoves and serious drafts all through the house.

    Wish us luck!

    Good luck. With the pellet stove at the other end of the house, you should do fine.
