Got a new woodstove this weekend. Progress Hybrid from Woodstock. Our old stove couldnt quite heat the whole house when we put the addition on. This one will and it has a cooktop.
So we love this stove. It easily heats the whole house. Havent used an oil or electric for heat at all this season. While the weather is a factor we are definitely using less wood. I figure we will be under 2 cords for the season. My wife wont let me cook on it yet because she is afraid I will make a mess. It burns good wood very completely. I empty the ash pan about once a month.
