    The F600 is a wicked good heater. I'm really surprised you're even considering replacing it.

    You might try Canawick bricks/blocks out of Canada.They are very good.

    BillB3,
    I agree the F600 is a great stove and to be honest it is the best stove I have ever had. I love the way it heats my house. Unfortunately over the 12 years I have had the stove, I have had to replace the baffles and after burn tubes 3 times which averages out to about $300 a year. So I am hoping that this will be less expensive to run.

    I am keeping the F600 and am planing on taking advantage of the buy back guarantee if the IS can't do what the Jutol does.

    Well, throw eggs at me if you wish and call me bad names along with it, but a sure way to trash a catalyst is too much moisture. Please be careful.

    I am currently in the same spot as you, have a HearthStone Manchester Tru-Hybrid and I am know having to mix kiln dried with say 25/30 moisture wood. It works out if I get the kiln dried wood ripping in the stove then stoke it with kindling size pieces of the green wood. Did you survive, did you ruin the stove, what was your experience?
