    I'll have to look into it. Pretty sure IT wouldn't let me upload it though. We work on government contracts so things are tightly controlled. May have to look into a physical screen thing. We'll see how it works out Monday when I go back in. I haven't had any issues at home - course all the credit may go to my cats who don't let me concentrate too long before they need a pet or treat or something.

    CF for what it's worth I completely agree. Getting the heat to move around evenly with one stove is near impossible in a house with multiple floors and many walls / rooms. Adding a second stove has helped a LOT. It has not completely solved the multi-floor issue, as we still have decent temp swings upstairs, but on the main floor it is much, much better with two stoves running on low rather than one stove trying to do the whole job (unsucccessfully) on high.

    Greetings TT - now I'm understanding why many on FHC have multiple wood burner stoves, either 2 pellet stoves or wood stove & pellet. .. Or a huge fire breathing dragon stove, like JT and the Fahrenheit folks run. :thumbs:

    I've done some checking / homework on other options as well: any LP/Gas or K1/Oil wall mounted heater will either match, or exceed, the cost of putting in a 2nd pellet stove by the time all is said & done, electric would require 3 baseboards @ $200/each + sub-panel + thermostat + wiring, etc. - so it's a no-brainer for another pellet stove here.

    Thanks for the feedback, it sure does help out, hearing from folks who have been there, and have the experience counts - it's always much appreciated. :yes:

    :cheers:

    I would be one of those, refurbed and put the ol smoke dragon back in for back up and extra cold nights, but still use the eco65 as main heat source.

    Long winter ahead of us. I am preparing to do other things this winter. My heated glassed in porch will be the perfect place for me to start doing my stained glass projects again. I get really good light there so I should be able to cut some of those intricate designs and solder them together. My cats will be there watching every move I make and keeping an eye on the bird feeders just a few feet from the windows. I have some green plants that bloom out there. They help keep my spirts up.
