Those were the reasons I suggested the 55 in the first place. I think you made the right decision by asking Hitzer for their recommendation.

That looks great, I just contacted bantlys my self. I’m either going to get a new 55 from them or a used hotblast 1537. I have to run duct work and never have. I wasn’t going to run a return just the filter box. I see your post was 3 years ago, are you still happy with it. What are your burn times like?

Rmishler welcome to the forum. Hopefully the OP gets back to you. I have a 55 stove, to answer your question you can get 12 to 24hr burn times with no problems depending on how you want to run the stove.
