VC Encore NC (everburn): anyone actually happy with theirs?

[heffergm]

So I'll preface this by saying I bought one and it'll be installed shortly. Suffice to say after reading a lot of posts here, I'm second guessing the purchase, but I can't do anything about that at this point.

So rather than worry about it, I'll hope for the best and see if I can't get the bugger to do my bidding. That said, anyone here have one that actually likes it, or at the very least doesn't want to toss it into the bottom of the nearest lake?

I have a dutchwest with the everburn, works great for me, just a couple of things youll need, dry wood, good chimney, and a diploma from the third grade. Seriously, they work fine. Im sure you will enjoy it

Dry wood.... Check. Good chimney.... I'll have 25' of stove pipe going through a masonry chimney (hearth install). 3rd grade diploma... crap

The posts made me have second thoughts about mine, but last winter the unit ran great, provided good heat and looks great. Like anything, it takes some time to understand how best to run the stove with your set-up and wood. I thought I would try and sell it this summer and move to a different stove, but there really is no reason. It works as designed and will stay as long as it does so. Enjoy it.
