Amazed at the low wood usage on my Legend. The coldest time of the year was last night and today. 27 last night. I try to burn in 12 hr cycles and have not had to fill it all the way up yet. I had a fireplace insert for four years and I believe it uses the same amount if not less wood than the insert did and my whole house stays warm plus my hot water.

I also read something about the following and it works great. I cut my wood 21 inches. The reason is that is what I cut it for my insert and I had right much already cut when I bought my OWF. I try to let it burn down to nothing but ashes and a few coals. When I stack my wood in the OWF, I stack it in the front because it burns from the front to the back and usually burns up better. If I stack it in the back, it cools down and the wood doesn't burn up as good. Just a tip that you may find works for you.

I see you got your legend of few years ago. How has it been operating for you?

Glad to hear. I was about 2 seconds away from owning a legend. I would have one if the dealer wasn't such a tool. I'm only 30 years old, 28 at the time I was ready to purchase one. Long story short, he thought I was out kicking tires and wasting his time. He lost out on a same day sale and its kind of sad how many dealers act this way. I bought my truck brand new with cash in hand. The first 2 dealerships I came across when I told them this is what I want is this is what I'll pay pretty much told me there's the door. When I got to the 3rd dealership I left with a brand new pickup bought and paid for.
