I have a Legend and really like it!!! It has been very efficient for me. I started burning it on the 1st of Nov. and am still currently burning just for dhw or if it gets down in the 30's I'll turn my bypass off and let the water go through my furnace coil and heat the house up. That furnace bypass is a very good extra feature that everyone should have. I went through about 7 cords of wood so far. We are heating 3600sq.ft. of house including basement and 1200sq. ft. of garage with 12ft. ceilings set at 60 degrees. We heat 2- 50 gal. hot water heaters and also have the water lines ran to our hot tub but haven't had the courage to tie into it. I sure don't want to screw it up. I haven't had problems at all with the Legend. I bought mine through the Midwest distributor. He is out of Minnesota and has been great to work with. Everything he promised has been fulfilled and very quickly and efficiently,. I have been very happy with him!!!! The Legend has passed the energy efficiency test and qualifies for up to a $1500 tax credit also. I was told it qualified at 77%. It smokes very little, mostly after refilling.
I am truly very happy with it so far and that could change next year although I hope it doesn't!!!
And just for the record I am not a dealer. My goal is to run it till May 1.
