Hi,  I'm a newbie on this forum and want to put in an OWB this year. Ridgewood is about 12 miles from me. I'm going to visit their shop. It seems like this stove might be just right for me as we have a smaller house and a small workshop to heat. Is the firebox on this stove round and does the water circulate all around it?  This sight is very informative, glad I joined.

Yes it's round, 3/8" thick propane tank.  Well built, and for the money, hard to beat

Stopped by the Ridgewood shop today and got a chance to talk with Craig. I will be buying a stove from him. Not only is the stove a nice unit,  but Craig is a great guy. He didn't try and talk me into buying his stove and wouldn't say a bad word about anybody else's.  He took me around his shop and answered all of my questions. He told me about a guy that had one of the "old"  ridgewood stoves  that developed a water leak (from an old assembly process that has since been changed).  Long story short,  Craig delivered a new updated stove to the guy no charge. He believes in servicing his customers and I believe in his brand.

I was able to speak to a couple owners who had their stoves litterally catch on fire due to the solenoid chain hanging up causing the air flow to not stop. Both these were replaced free of charge. I ain't knockin the stoves but wonder if the flaw has been fixed?

It boiled over all the water and the foam around the water jacket went up in flames. Hopefully the flaw is fixed.
