I was told by my dealer that the h4 is what i needed for my sq ft. 3760. 32x80 double wide and 30x40 shop. Everyone i have talked to says a H2 would be fine. Dealer says it would be overworking and burning a lot of wood and probly not last as long. What i need is people from this site's knowledge on my delima. I am not stuck on the Hardy brand but they are close to home and have a family member who has run one for 20 + years. And want ease of operation, simplicity of repair, not having to burn 10 cord of wood in winter and not spending over 7-8k. Open to any idea's and suggestions. Thanks to all.

With your sizes you (like me) would be overworking the H2. The H4 would be a much better choice for you. You would have to load the H2 2 times a day and the H4 only 1 time. My son in law has an H4 and I have the H2.

You are probably going to burn the ten cord/year you don't want to burn with the heat load you have :bash:

Would probly only run it in the winter for now till the kids get a little older and i have to take a cold shower for the first time, it will be 24/7 burning. The shop would probly be set on 50-55 till i need to work on somthing. house would probly be 70-72. I just dont know much about the other brands i guess always been refered to hardy around here. 20 + years on the same one in the family which is what sells me i guess, i dont know what other brands to look at only other's close to me are heatmor,acme and wood master i think. Maybe chim in would steer me at other's. i like the stainless ones but with the epa fixing to crack down on OWB's who is going to stay in buisness and who isnt.
