I have loaded the Progress with bone dry Cottonwood and never came close to an overfire. The stove can be snuffed down pretty low, even if the...
I heard the screen was no longer used. Just keep your eye on the cat - It may require more frequent cleanings without the screen.
I found with the Progress it's actually More Important to keep the air control at a higher setting immediately after closing the bypass for a...
You are going to really like the Progress - it a remarkable stove. Would love to see a completed install picture. That looks like it was a fun...
I agree. I'm choosing the AT100 Universal Thermometer and the TC-K-WA Washer Probe. I don't see the need for the remote siren with my house layout...
I have a PH and find it extremely hard to overfire. The Fireview or Palladian would be better canidates IMO for an alarm but any stove could...
I said I would order one of these alarms before the next burning season and now its time to stop procrastinating! Although at this rate it's hard...

I'm on a 4 year rotation plan - and yes definitely top covered after the first 6 months or so. My cat stove loves dry wood - burns slow and hot. I...
jeez Ray - in my part of MA it costs triple that for an Electrician to change a light switch!
WS in my experience is extremely responsive. They are overwhelmed this year but I am sure with another attempt or two on your part - you will...
golf66 Based on the dates of the posts,you have been burning this stove for 2 months. Do you still have black puddles forming on the hearth? Did...
I have been rinsing with plain well water after the vinegar bath so I can gently spray/rinse the cells with my faucet sprayer, then I follow it...
dhumohr It sounds to me like you have one of two problems. Either you have extremely unseasoned wood or your house is just too lossy for the...
I used to get a badly clogged cat and bad backpuffsing for the 2 years before I added 2' of flue pipe . Since that day I don't have either...
sounds like you can save a few dollars if you are willing to set up the proper parameters.
Thanks for the great links - looks very interesting for my Palladian. Anyone know the difference between ordering the AT100 Universal...
