We moved to a new house this summer and it came with a Quadra fire 4300. I thought it would be a great stove. The fire box is huge and it has two air controls and it is set up in the perfect part of the house to send heat to all parts of the home. I was so excited to use this stove. Well I was so wrong. I had a simple little heat tech stove in our last house and the thing would heat us out of the house. This quadra Fire has no radiant heat at all. With the stove going at 500 I can put my hand on the side and back of the stove. The only heat output is from the front of the stove. The only thing saving it a little is there was a blower installed so it blows the hot air out in front. I am wasting my wood burning this stove. I am so disappointed in this stove.
