Very Happy
Very Happy with my chubby, I have had a continuous burn since Oct 15th. I had a few warm days where I had to open the windows , but now that the cold weather has set in its great. I don't anticipate using my oil furnace at all this year . Its 19° out side right now, stove is at 500°, and my 1500sq. cape is at a comfy 75°. I thought this stove was going to help with supplemental heat, but it has become my primary. It heats to your bones I can't ever see using oil again. Best investment I've made so far! I must say this site has been very helpful and instrumental for me in learning how to operate my stove . Thank you all for you questions and answers.

Shhhh...I thought this stove was going to help with supplemental heat, but it has become my primary.
When the insurance inspector comes it is only a secondary heat source...
And you only burn a ton or so...
Really....

I don't have a Chubby but the same thing happened when I got my Mark II. I was looking for someway to take the edge of our Natural Gas bill and lo and behold I came to find that the stove not only could heat my entire house to a higher temperature but it could do it for a whole lot less money, too. What a concept! I'll never go back to another source of energy for my home heating needs. In fact, we are planning our next house to be built around a coal based heating system.
