Adjusting firebox size in a big stove/aka Anyone want to buy a cute little englander?

Hey Kat,

I don't want to say I told you so, but!

Last year I mentioned you should get the 30 when you were looking for a stove. I also remember someone saying that bigger is not always better when it comes to stoves. I knew you were going to be better off with more heat! I'm sure you'll be happy with the big boy. Congrats, better late than never.

Now if I can only follow my own advice, and get the right amount of wood for next year, I won't have to run the furnace like I'm doing now! :blank:

When I arrived home from work today stove was sitting in my shed

vcburner you did tell me so but last year I couldn't find a 30 locally, or online for less than 1200k plus shipping and after the install I couldn't swing it.

Dave it's going to sit in the shed for a bit. I'm going to finish out the season with the 13. I want to do some work in the hearth over the summer and put the 30 in before next season starts.

Congrats on the new heater.

Measure the legs on the 13 and the 30. The 13 may have six inch legs where the 30 ships with nine inch. If the 13 has sixes you may wanna use them in that fireplace.

That's great! It's ok, at least you get to have the joy of having another new stove arrive for the second season in a row! Congrats.

K, congrats I'd pass on the Hogs skirting, how ever


It's the burn times of the 13, it's good for about 5 hours of heat. It's awesome for that heat.


A 2 CF firebox wood be nice. The burn times from the 13 to the PE are quite vast.

Yep, it's bumps you up to 8 - 10, 6 - 9 in reality

Do you think that's because of the extra firebox size, or because of PE's secondary burn technology? Seems that .2 CF would be kind of insignificant.

 

[begreen]

It does have a different secondary combustion system and also has more insulative pumice firebrick and a differently configured firebox.
