Any body else out there have or had a hearth stine I. I am currently burning one that was in a house that i bought almost two years ago and am loving it to death. BUT...... don't really have much to compare it to i am 25 years old and don't have a lot of experience with wood heat outside of the past winter and the current one. a few friends parents growin up heated with wood as i was growing up. I was around it just enough to decide it was something that i wanted to do but don't know as much as i'd like to about it. I feel like there has been a lot of talk on here about the newer stoves being much better and would just like to know where mine "Ranks" i guess. would it REALLY be worth upgrading to a newer model??? I just love this stove but as said don't know much about it. th only thing i could ask for is to burn less wood but thuis is not a major issue because i have plenty available i just have to cut and split it all. Just lookin for advice stove wise. I have all the original paper work from the original owner and from what i can tell this thing is top of the line for it's time. Any opinions comments od suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! Thanks fellas.
