Wow ! Looks great ! Primary heat source ? Will it keep up on the really cold nights ? I have an Englander that I love, but when it gets really cold, it struggles to achieve 60° so I have to supplement with a Monitor K1.

There's still a K1 monitor at the other end of the house that comes on once in a while.

How often do you have to shut down and clean yours ? I really want to replace my Englander with either a Harman or a Quadrafire. I have to clean mine constantly... 3 times a week at the very least .

About every two days I open the door, vacuum out the ash, and clean the window. It takes about 5 minutes.

Wow ! With it still lit ? Ash vac I assume ? I'm almost embarrassed to say but daily I use a long large cooking spoon and scoop out the ashes, but weekly if not twice a week I have to shut it down and clean under the burn plate :(

Thanks for the info

Happy Holidays ! Stay warm, and best wishes with the wind and rain. Hope we all keep power.

Of course not.

I just wait until it isn't burning - which is most of the time. I use an ash vac. It's only about a cup of ash each time.
