Still a 5 star stove.

I have now used this stove through my 2nd full season. I use this as my heat source, with a couple of fans to move the heat around. As I have previously stated, I heat 1664 sq/ft, divided into 8 rooms (that i heat). This stove has no problem with it. 30-40 below zero and this stove kept my home a comfy 20-23 degrees C all day long. As people have stated, this stove does well to get it ripping, and then damp it down. I keep big pieces of wood for overnight burns, and split the same pieces down in half or thirds for daytime "cooler burns". Fan moves the air well, but it is somewhat loud if you're in the same room. Ash cleaning is easy using the ash tray or an ash vac. If your chimney is a little dirty the ash will float all over. Glass cleaning is super easy, especially when you remove the door. Good value for dollar. Still.
