Hi I'm new here and I just put a deposit down on a BL 3444. I was buying a Heatmor 400 even wrote the cheque. My first pick was Portage and Main but the local dealer was hard to get a hold of. It turns out he had some family / personal stuff to take care of which I can understand. So the local Heatmor dealer sold me on the 400. I then went to the local farm show and seen all the companies and their stoves. I met the owner of Portage and Main, Brian He told how good of a stove Heatmor is and asked if I looked at all the other stoves. I was impressed with his professionalism. He just pointed out what they have to offer and what he felt made their stove a good choice. He never bad mouthed any other company. I know many Heatmor owners in my area and they are very happy. I was impressed with them also. So why did I flip and choose the BL 3444. First it was about $3000.00 difference just for the stove. Then  Brian offered me a credit because of meeting him at the farm show. I then spoke to a few owners and seen a couple of the stoves operating and was impressed again. I like the keep it simple not a pile of electronics to go wrong approach. It is very solid with great detail in the build quality. I hope to have it delivered when ever the snow leaves if that ever happens. I live in Canada, Ontario just out side of Ottawa and it has been a real winter. I am like a kid and can't wait to get started on the install. I look forward to not bringing the 19 face cord and the mess inside  . I will be looking for advice in the future.  I am trying to find out what size of a pad I will need for the BL 3444. The link on PM page won't open can anyone help.
Thanks

I have the file for that pad.  In short, the pad should be 52" by 72" with a 20" wide by 10.5" notch centered in the end of the pad.  I would post the schematic but the drawing produced by Portage & Main indicates that it may not be copied without their permission.  As such, simply PM me an e-mail address and I would be happy to e-mail the pad file for the BL 34-44.  Cheers!  -Slopster
