Out, standing in my field.
Here are two pics of the Charmaster, after putting a small load in, to hold the house over from 6 PM till bedtime. It was about 4 degrees and windy outside when I took this picture, but the thermostat was keeping the house at a consistent 71 degrees.

Nice, didnt know Charmasters were made in Grand Rapids. Not too far from me.

Yeah, they are a pretty slick unit, in my opinion, and very well made.
If you prefer the brick-lined type firebox over a grate type firebox, I think it's hard to beat. I have gone away for 48 hours, loading the furnace to the gills before I left, and the firebox was still hot and I was able to find enough coals to re-light when I got home.

It's tricky to get pics of the secondary burners kicking.
I've got a little 602CB w/ flex direct connect into the chimney tile and sealed.
Many Nordic cabin w/ wood supply stacked almost tight against the stove. When its brought fresh from outside it will "power dry" in respectable fashion giving a great burn. There are times when this burns w/ more blue than orange leaving the front glass and chimney cleaner than any stove I've ever used.
Smoke discoloration is leftover from fireplace use not the woodstove.
W/ fireplace this chimney wouldn't draw for nothing and pushed me to this change.
Works great now sealed into the chimney flue only one way to go, up.

Stove looks really small and the fire place looks huge, but pictures can be deceiving. Personally I would have tried to put a bigger one in or an insert, but whatever works for you to get the heat inside the house.
Yes it's small by most standards.
The guys say that I should just take pencils from work instead of bothering cutting wood.
In all honesty one of my big fears was to get something too big and smoke myself out of the living room or have to choke a big stove back and foul up the chimney with a smoldering inefficient burn. I can let this roll burning great and not fry in the living room.
Our winters are mild in Louisville and this has worked out well despite its size.
Down the road I may build a cabin and this would be perfect then swap this out for an Jotul F100 giving a bigger front view.
I really like being able to stockpile wood in the hearth space having it ready for and evening burn.

The 602CB is also a deeper stove than it looks in the photos. I believe it takes up to 24 inch long wood.

I have a unique setup I use a large wood burner in the garage, had the air chamber welded onto front and have high powerd blower on back. Basically using a burner as a furnace. Use a lot of wood but it works damn good. It shouldn't the physics don't work but my stove runs hot enough to get 220-280 degree air into house. So one main vent heats everything. House stays 76 and its 16 outside lol

My dog Moto enjoying the heat from the Jotul F500 
The jotul 118 will take 24" but the "Little Giant" 602 can only swallow 16" long. It is a frequent feeder and won't last the night.
my 70's era Vermont Vigilant coal/wood stove. Works great, when burning wood the fire brick is removed so 19-20 inch. Coal burns much better in the unit with the auto feed hopper but coal cost $ .
Boys don't the animals love wood heat hua.

Posted some of these pics in some of my older threads but I'll put em in here.
First pic is when I moved in the house after painting the brick red(They were on off white when I bought the house)
Second pic is the napolean insert the day it was installed, and my pup soon claimed the 10 foot perimeter around the stove his own
Third pic is the day we finished the new hearth and mantle
Fourth is my firewood buddy enjoying the fruits of his labor after a long day splitting with me
