I just wanted to say thank you for all the information I have received on this web site from the experienced wood burners. Although I've been burning wood for the last 8 years in an open hearth, this will be the first year that I'll be getting the BTU benefit of an insert. I purchased a regency I2400 back in April and it was installed in my fireplace in May. Today's oil cash price is listed at $4.75 a gallon. The insert should help me save some money. I just finished splitting a bunch of red oak yesterday. 6 cords added to the two that were already seasoned. I should be good to go. I'll be looking to purchase some hardwood logs to cut and split to get seasoned for the next couple of years. I also invested in a 27 ton Troy Built splitter that I got at Lowe's back in April. It is a back saver and works really well. Thanks again and I hope to get more info off this sight.
