I would like a hopper stove, but your comments make me wonder about that decision for my house. I mean, you’re heating a not so well insulated shop as you say and that does seem impressive for a smaller stove under the conditions for the space.

I’m adding about the same with a bigger stove heating almost double that. Sounds like the only way I can beat it is with a base heater.
What's even nicer is that the 254 is running at the low end of it's range. It's nice knowing I have all that extra BTU capability if needed.
