Wow, what a mess - the fire. We just switch insurance carriers and they asked a lot of questions about our wood burner at our cabin.

My only concern is this, and it isn't just from me, but the builder, the wood burners put out alot of unseen pollutants and soot to the air. Before you know it, your cabin walls and furniture are stained. You did it right by not connecting to heat vents. I am looking at doing the same thing, but will put the wood burner on the lower level and vent out the concrete block of exposed basement. No connection to furnace ductwork, I'm hoping for heat rise to warm the entire 2200 sq. ft. from bottom up. I sure have enough wood with all the birch dying with drought conditions around south central Vilas Cty.

Gator, Love my stove, had the smaller one at another cabin then went to a top loader Vermont Castings on my other cabin then went with the Lopi Answer on this one. I have the
catalyst one(lever on right) leave it open to start then close off within 5 minutes. I think the catalyst one burns excess gases but also flue needs to be cleaned at least once during winter due to lower flue temps. I can heat my house up with no problem. Love standing in front of stove to warm up after coming in from outside.(even find myself standing there in summer when no fire exist) Just don't overload it until you get a feel for what it is capable of. Wood type and dryness matters.
Enjoy!
