The latest Heat Master design has the damper inline after the fan so you can not get smoke and creosote back to the fan during shutdown.

Yep that was a good improvement.

Thanks guys for all of the input.  First off I must say I am very impressed with this site since im new.  No other forums I have joined have been this helpful with as many replies I have had with as little of time I posted on here.  Usually other forums do not want to comment on newbies posts so I just want to say thank you.  Right now I am more leaning towards the heatmaster but in the back of my mind is the P&M. lol.  Originally I was dead set on the P&M but then I talked to a friend of mine who had the heatmaster and loved it.  But yet again I only have so much to spend so the heatmaster is looking better and better.  If I go with the heatmaster I cant decide to go with the 5000e or 10000e.  I want the 10000 just in case I build a pole barn someday or move to a place with a pole barn that the stove wouldn't be undersized.  I know for the square footage im going to be heating right now the 10000 would be overkill and have heard that a idiling stove shortens its lifespan.  Does the bricks in the P&M BL series make that big of difference?

Have you ever seen or been around a Russian fireplace, when was the last time we ever heard of a creosote fire in one.

It is an extremely clean hot fire that uses the firebrick to store the energy and heat the home over a long period, massive amount of brick that burns the smoke in it's passes.

I can't sell them here in the northeast, if you can have them in your area you should call Brian and he can give you a quote.

Treeman, have you gotten prices on each model yet?  That may finalize your decision!

country, yes I have. Heatmaster is priced more attractively than P&M!
