    Do you know of any good sales on solar gain? Practically non-existent here...

    And I cheat like heck! That ducting saves loads and I got lots of solar gain too. Not having to heating that basement to 80ºF to get 72ºF upstairs is near priceless!! Only heat it gets is on the return cycle......... ;)

    Bought the first one 10 years ago and still running great. Replaced the convection fan and the igniter year before last. No issues. Bought the second 8 years ago and is lightly used, in the loft above the garage. Run that one on a wifi thermostat, which was a great move as we used that space much more now that we can control the heat from work. Have no idea how they are making the Quads now, but I think I got a couple of good ones.

    These Nature's Own I am burning slide down the hopper really nice. I forgot to load the stove last night, and it's set to hi/lo. It went a full 24hrs without running out of fuel. I have had issues going half that long

    Steady diet of Nature's Own for now. Some cold ish weather due to roll in. Hamers on standby. When those are gone, I can restack the NO's and the sets can be reached if need be. Hope I can save those for next season!!
