I currently I have been running a Napoleon NZ3000 for the last 6 seasons. It does the job but for various reasons I'm considering removing it and going with a PE Alderlea T6 or similar, maybe an Oslo 600, or Hearthstone equinox.
That said I've never had a free standing stove. The NZ3000 is rated max BTU of 60,000 and the T6 is 99,000. Can I expect to really get that much more heat out of this free standing stove vs the NZ?
Has anyone out there gone from a ZC to freestanding? What is your experience good or bad?
What are the groups thoughts and experience with these 3 stoves?
I'm leaning towards the PE because it seems to be a good product with good reviews here. Pretty simple and solid design. I like having one door vs a double door and there knife edge seal design, and the option of getting a low and slow fan with it.
