We have a charmaster, i think they are built in Minnesota. Forced air furnace. Ben a real good heater. I think we’ve had it 8-9 years.

I like my quadrafire , it doesn;t do overly long burn times but a newer house with good insulation it should warm it up quick and hold heat for a good while after the fire has died down.

burn time is often a component of a larger fire box

the smaller fire boxes can burn less wood and get really good heat from it but need a little more frequent loading if you need to keep it going

https://fireside.com/collections/wood-stoves-inserts/products/quadra-fire-4300-step-top-wood-stove

these burn very clean and without need of a catalytic converter that wears out, like wonder why you bother cleaning the chimney every year clean , you do because inspection is good but , it hardly needs it

I like my Quadra-Fires. I heat with one at home and one at camp. Both are 3100's Both are older, pre-ACC models.

Like GCP said, they are one of the cleanest-burning non-cat stoves on the market.

I can get twelve hours out of mine if I'm throttle back pretty hard, eight hours at normal burn.


Eh...wot?

I had to go look at my model I have the older 3100 ACT step top with the queen and legs

it was a floor model I got for half off as it was used some.

I can get 8 hours sleep and have good coals that easily start a fire again , I tend to get about 6 hours good heat , but I also probably need to replace my door gasket this year , it's been a few years.

I have a heat and glow Northstar. No complaints other than I have problems keeping the glass clean. I have a stave mill near me so I can buy their cutoffs which is White oak with no bark on it. I can burn a week's worth of wood and not have to clean out ashes. I'm looking at buying a used jotul 500 V3 Oslo right now for our farm. I know white 17 has some experience with those. Anyone else?

The ash with damp newsprint is the bees knees for cleaning the glass.

I know that trick. I wish it was that easy. I have to use a razor blade to scrape it off. Dealer says I'm not burning season wood. But I have a moisture tester and don't burn anything unless it's under 12%. I question whether it was installed correctly? I don't know the problem. Have a good seal on the doors and a good draft. If I burn it 100% open it will stay hot enough not to build up on the glass. Anything less than 90% wide open turns the glass black.
