khawkins the guy I bought it from is a new dealer for them here in Michigan. I called him about another stove he had and he showed me this brand and I guess I liked them more than the ones that are made here in Michigan. We will no in a few months if I made the right choice!

Netwerx the house is an old two story farm house probably not insulated the best and its the only heat source. I'm going to try and get readings on those water temps and maybe that will help. Our farm sits in the middle of open fields so it can be kinda hard to heat on some of these windy Michigan winter days. Talked to another guy here in Michigan just heating a house with the same stove and hes getting double the burn times so I'm thinking these shops with tall ceilings really take a lot of heat. Thanks everyone for the advice.

I used the three wrap foil that has a another 6 inch tile over the 4 inch. Haven't checked to see what the water temp entering the basement is but it seems like its not losing a lot. Starting to think that firebox doesn't hold as much wood as I thought.(28cuft)

Been burning my 400he for a couple weeks now just wondering what kind of burn times other people are getting with same stove. I'm heating a 40x60 shop with a 20x20 coil. The house is 2,OOO sq ft and about 200 ft from stove. I fill the stove full at 7 pm and by 7am it doesn't have much left. The shop doesn't have any fan going at night and the house is set on 70. Using seasoned cherry and oak.
