I like mine so far, seems to do the job ok :thumbup:.  It's not as nice as my buddy's Mahoning or my other buddy's  Central Boiler set up, but the Ridge cost much less and still makes my home warm. I've had it 3-4 years now and no trouble yet.  And I see the new Ridgewoods have what looks like diamond plated aluminum :thumbup: for the top as apposed to painted sheet steel that mine has.    All in all, so far, so good ;D

Today's ridgewoods are much different than ones made several years ago, there all spray foamed now, insulated doors, just better all the way around.

First time I ever heard the words nice and Mahoning in the same sentence haha

I just went to their website.  Wow, they are cheap! They look like they are built pretty good, especially for the price.

Thrilled with everything from wood consumption to customer service above and beyond. Anybody that wouldn't consider this stove in that price range would be crazy! Most people don't believe me what I have invested in the whole package $5,200 turn key with concrete slab. I can't say enough how satisfied I am with my Ridgewood

free heat how far of a run do you have from your boiler to your house. Did you use the z-supply for your underground.

Ridgewood rocks! Well built, simple design and great price.  I put wood in....the water gets hot. ...house, shop, and DHW gets heated. Hmmmm.... just like the brands that cost 2+ times as much. With the money I saved, I built a 20' × 25' steel carport on a cement slab for a wood shed and stove shelter.  :thumbup:

As soon as I get mind hook up, I will give a review. Craig was good to deal with and gave
me some advice on how to fill it.

Keep you posted.

Craig is a real good guy to deal with. I'm sure he will be glad they added his company to the list.

Simple, reliable and affordable. At $5550 total for install with concrete slab and machine rental, it will probably pay for itself twice this year alone due to very cold temps and skyrocketing lp prices. Heating two buildings +dhw. I was was just asked the other day by a man that was considering one if I would buy one again. That is actually a pretty serious question if you think about it. My answer? I'd do it again and again. Wood consumption seems to be right in line with others close by with similar loads demands. Builder is very accessible if you need him.

Do these stoves have a blower in the fire box or is it natural draft?

Looks like a solenoid-controlled natural draft.
