Congratulations. It sounds like a great offer and deal from a nice shop. It will be a different burning pattern, but simpler. I'm sure you'll get the hang of it quickly.
Thanks BeGreen, I hope to find time to get it installed this weekend but I have school functions all day Saturday with my daughter and I will have to see if I can twist a few of my friends arms to help me with the stove swap on Sunday. I am not looking forward to moving either of the stoves as it's gonna be a bear considering that the dutchwest weighs close to 700lbs and has to go down 6 stairs. When I put the stove in years ago I took down the whole porch railing and used the loader to set it up on the porch. i'm not sure I want to do that this time around.
I'm trying to get my ducks in a row now since I know that as soon as I hook the chimney up I'll want to start a fire so I have a few questions for fellow PE owners considering this will be the first time I have ever burnt in anything other than a Dutchwest:
1) How do you normally load this stove North South, East West, or however you can cram it in there? What are the benefits of the different load directions as currently I have no choice how I load my stove ?
2) I have read alot of posts on the EBT and people talking about wanting to disable it (which I'm not planning on doing at this point) so I was curious who has disabled their EBT and why?
3) Since I will have double wall pipe all the way to the stove top should I consider putting in a flue probe for accurate flue temps.
Well that's all I have for now but I'm sure as I sit here pondering the change in stoves that I'm making I will come up with a few more. Thanks guys
