[QUOTE="Whitespider, post: 4668309, member: 57106"] Yeah, I suppose your right. But you'd have been downright impressed by the amount of heat exiting the vents upstairs when the secondary burn was active. From an empty firebox cold start I never had a problem raising the temperature of the whole house a couple degrees, even in sub-zero weather... the problems came when I needed to continue raising the temp, or maintain it after the secondary shut down. As you can see from the pics, there wasn't an appreciable size difference between the old (homemade) furnace and the "stovace"... I think that's what frustrated me the most. I mean, I kept reading on this site the, "More heat, less wood" mantra... but I ended up with less heat (overall) and burning more wood using the same size box (shrug) Actually, after I removed the firebrick, the "stovace" had a larger firebox... * [/QUOTE]
