Installed and operating! Still get a bit of a smell off it but at least it's not filling the house with a haze!
Congratulations Sam Your going to get some longer burn times out of that for sure going from a 1.6 Cubic Feet box to 3.1 Let us know how it goes when you stuff it full
Excellent! Love the paneling too. You should love the burn times, heat output, and coals for the restarts. Like your rake.
Woodstove, on the pallet, in a truck, truck parked in a garage, smoke pipe out the roof..... Coolest woodstove photo EVER! Now, extra points if you leave enough coals in it when moving it into the house so you can start the first fire in there without using any matches or kindling. Brian
My Myriad was put to the test this past week as it got -15 with wind chills like -25 to -30. Passed with flying colors as the house I was able to keep 70-72 with this stove at those extreme cold temps. I am heating 2600 sqft , 700 sq ft of that is a basement family room which is where the stove is.
Sam that stove puts out more heat on the sides than your used to so keep an eye on the tv and the stuff on the other side too.
I cheated and let it go all the way out before moving it in the house. I also cheated on that aspect, I lifted right through the front door with the skid steer. Much easier than trying to hoist it up there.
That's a good point, not sure about the answer but my republic doesn't put much heat at all out the sides or the back most all of the heat comes out the top and front
Thanks dog, I'm getting a sense of that extra heat out the sides for sure. I've got some extra firebrick downstairs, maybe I'll toy with setting a few on the top of the stock ones on the TV side to slow down the heat output. Well, with an outside temp around 20 and a stuff breeze I burned 4 medium/small splits. The entire upstairs of the house is runnin around 80. Good afternoon for a nap!
Hadn't checked the sides before, on the Myriad. Just reloaded about an hour ago and took the IR gun down. Top 510, outside single wall flue flue 320, outside temp middle left side looking at the stove 610 (above level of firebrick), same location below firebrick 300. Edit: Fire was burning more to the left side than right though, on this load.
With those few pieces of wood the old stove would have eventually gotten us up to probably 74-75. After having the doors open and closed so much for switching the stoves the main level had gotten down to around 62 so it was a decent rise in temp I feel. I'll have to hit the sides of mine with the IR gun tonight when I reload...burning down coals now with the primary air wide open and the pipe damper shut.
How are you moving the heat upstairs Huntindog1? That's pretty much my house setup except the Myriad is in the living room at this point. Hopefully next year I'll have it configured in the basement, with a little remodeling.
Here's a link to where I purchased it. Mine was $761 with tax shipped to my local Menards. http://www.menards.com/main/heating...a-wood-stove-with-blower/p-1696718-c-6884.htm I'll be tickled to get 8-10 hour burn times, which I rate as still producing usable heat at the end not just coals for a re-light. Plenty of guys here are doing just that so I have no reason to believe it won't happen for me!
you should be able to, shoot I can get 12 hours of usable heat out of my smaller stove at 25 degrees OST
that's a heck of a deal on that stove better jump on it. By the way the Austral EPA Wood Stove with Blower is the same stove but with legs http://www.menards.com/main/p-2431485-c-6884.htm
Ours is doing a great job in our big house which has antique glass windows (single paynes roughly one-third the thickness of modern glass. Once we get all of them switched out I really expect a huge boost. The new doors and the big stove sure have helped.
