He has a stove that is about 5' round and 5' tall, I think it is an industrial coal burner from long long ago, as it looks ancient! It keeps his place warm, but eats vast quantities of wood!

We use it to heat our 20x20' downstairs playroom, and provide supplementary heat to the rest of house. We burn maybe 2 cords a season: poplar, some oak. In 15 yrs, we've never had any problems with it or the exterior, two-story 8" x 13"terracotta lined chimney.

I am running it on room temp, low and have my feed rate set to about 3.5 right now. The stove is keeping the house the temperature it is supposed to be at.

Jul 27, 2007 · My gas insert is about 2 years old. There is an ashy white powder building up inside the unit on the walls (there are fake brick panels on the back and side walls) and also on the top (inside).
