didn't know about these stoves until after i had already bought my woodmaster. liked the ash clean out set up and wide but not deep firebox. looked like it made it nice to load. two blowers too. any pros and cons.

New member here. Just wanted to add that i have been a very satisfied Johnson owner for 6 winters. Little John heating a 3,800 sqft older home with a hydronic system. I hooked up the heat exchanger as a zone to the existing oil boiler in the basement. Took a season to get used to the differnt way the house heats up, but compared to paying for on average 1800 gallons of oil a year.... I put in a swimming pool with the savings.
I don't own a wood lot, but have been very succesful scrounging for wood during the year. Mostly I burn pallets that i get from a couple of sources. they are always well seasoned and mostly oak. Burning pallets rarely smoke. If I could do it all over again, I would buy a Johnson again! easy to clean out the ashes, easy to stoke, ;D
