    Thanks for the info. Which model PE stove do you have?
    I do like the look of the ideal steel stove about the best of all the Woodstock stoves.

    Hi Farmchuck
    Its in my signature, I have the super 27. I've noticed that they've made a few changes to the stove so I believe its a bit more robust than the older model. If you are looking at the larger Blaze King then you may want to look at the PE Summit. It will have the same technology as my super 27.

    I am content with my Century for both heat output & viewing the fire.

    Is that the FW2900?
    If so, at the current sale price of $1049 shipped (from my earlier link) those are a very good value! :yes:
    (even their largest FW3500 is only $1449 right now)

    We have the Drolet Blackcomb. The Blackcomb II should be comparable. Good mid size stove... 1000015959.jpg 20241225_071810.jpg
