I am considering getting the Hearthstone Equinox stove and would like any opinions from owners of this stove. Strangely, I didn't see any reviews of this stove in the reviews area of Hearth.com. A view specific questions I have are:
1) How easy is it to start and control?
2) Does it really seem to put out a huge amount of heat? The BTU specs are much higher than any other stove I've seen.
3) Has it been reliable?
4) Any back-puffing issues?
5) Any smokey smell inside the house?
6) How long can it go on a full load?
7) How long does it take to come up to temperature on a cold start?
Any other information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much.
