My Escape 1800 arrived ahead of time and in perfect shape with no damage after travelling great distance by rail and truck. I installed the stove soon after including the air intake, blower and thermal disk. I seasoned the stove as recommended. I am very happy with the ability to heat my cabin and control the temperature compared to my older stove. I can now heat the cabin over night and add wood in the morning with active coals ready to go. While I was researching the team at MFP was helpful and responsive to my questions!
