Spidey I think you have to give up. Some people ain't got a clue what it is like trying to heat a house in -35* weather and will never understand the gripe someone like I has. I have an EPA stove and I will say it again,, it is as useless as a bag of broken rubber hammers (and uses a whole lot of wood) when it gets below 0*F. Nobody, nowhere is going to change my mind as I have experienced this firsthand and I don't like it. Anyone can spout of at the mouth with their opinion but the real fact is when it's butt crack cold out I would like a bottom draft, period. My garage stove doesn't have a problem keeping the garage temp stable with coals when I open the bottom draft but this EPA stove when not half to wide open (using a heck of a lot more wood) ashes over and I have to stir and babysit it to keep the house at a bearable temp when its really cold out.
