Looking at purchasing a Heatmaster OWB and would like some input on which size. I have a single story, 10 year old 1900 sq ft brick house built on a crawl space. r15 walls, 15" blown fiberglass in attick, double pane windows, a 24 x 24 attached garage that I would like to occasionally warm up a little when working in and DHW for 4 people. located in southwestern Kentucky (normal lows around 28 to 40, occasionall teens and single digits). Will the MF3000 be sufficient or do I need to go to the MF5000? I don't want to be filling the stove 3 times a day but can get the 3000 for about $1300 cheaper than the 5000. The current 4 ton heatpack is rated at 92000BTU Heat Input, 75400 BTU Output Capacity. Thanks for any input.

I'd have to say the 5000, who was your dealer you spoke with?
The 3000 only has one set of ports and if you needed a second loop for your garage or something the 300 wouldn't be able to help you with that.
The 5000 has a big firebox and would easily give you 16-18 hour burns mid winter.
If you wanna talk heatmaster stoves or stoves in general give me a call, 606-316-9697
