First season with my Heat Master 5000e and love it! I looked at all the same ones you posted and am happy that I went with Heat Master.

I did the exact same thing, spent 6 months or so researching and talking to MFG's who by the way all "sell the best" everyone I spoke is said the exact same thing "our's is the best"  After weeding through the BS and narrowing it down to a few I bought the Heat Master 5000e 3 months ago and so far it's been great! Well build, nice additional burn chamber, easy to clean ash pan with shake grates,  burns very little wood.  I will tell you my head was spinning with all the opinions of all these dealers and MFG's I finally bit the bullet and think it was a great choice.

Good luck with the search and purchase, I am now going 3 months without paying for any home heating , hot water or swimming pool heating propane!

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to the OWB world week 2 with my Heat Master 5000e and would appreciate your feed back on the following:

(a) When stacking wood what do you find to be the best way to get the best burn?
(b) When feeding the fire I always get some thick gray smoke for about 15 minutes after the newly added wood is added, is this common? am I doing something wrong?
(c)  When loading new wood, I crack the door and wait a little with hope to reduce the smoke flash but it seems to keep coming from the door, is this a draft issue which can be resolved by adding add'l stack pipe? I currently have about 3' of pipe.

Thanks in advance for your help!
Leo
