Received and installed Thursday. Played around a little Thursday night learning to tweak fresh air draft, etc. and started a long test burn yesterday at about 3:30pm. Goal of the test is to see how many hours it burns without attention and how long one hopper of fuel lasts. Fuel on this test is corn/pellet mix 50/50.
Overnight low just 44deg here but strong winds 20-30mph. Garage temp started at 57deg at light up. It was up to 65deg by 5:00pm and maintained that all night.
It's my first install on my own and it could probably be better, but it's working. I may indeed still change venting to outdoor vertical rise to get it above the window. Vent and intake are facing east which gets the least amount of wind so maybe it'll work. Right now vent has a slight drop as it runs horizontally...probably not a good thing but hopefully not a deal breaker with the short run and OAK installed.
