    I thought for sure all of these cold temperatures would have people chatting about the cold

    How hard do you need to push the Encore. What stove top temps do you need to keep the place warm?

    Let's get it started --

    Fiskars x27 is a waste of money.
    Wood cut in the summer will be fine to burn by fall.
    Amsoil is the best oil ever and works great at 100:1

    Well to keep the stove room at a toasty 74 and the rest of the house (mainly upstairs) 68 I need a pretty consistent 650-700. My VC is a tad undersized for the space its heating (1200 1st and 1200 2nd floor) it does a decent job and all but I think Im getting a Jotul or the Ideal when its released.

    If you get a Jotul, go for the 3 cu ft stoves. The Oslo will NOT improve your situation.

    But, yes, you really need a larger stove.

    +1 (except it will melt your face off and cause a coronal mass ejection of the nearest star) ( oh, and cats don't like it)

    JØTUL F 50 TL? I was looking for a single door w/o top loading but will sacrifice something for single door operation.

    In that case the F55 would fit the bill..

    I would go with the F55 since I heard the top load of the F50 isn't that usable, especially when coming from a VC stove. I love the top loading of the VC stoves, but front loading works just as well.

    Sucks to have single digits cold this early in the heating season. I actually stepped up to loads of ash instead of the soft maple/cherry I've been primarily burning to this point.
