My wife loves it Tommy! I just, well, like it. There is no way it could ever throw as much heat as the ‘40 or the extended barrel Stewart tho. It’s yuuuuuuge main advantage is that it takes up ZERO floor space. Also the magazine loading height is at the perfect height convenient, super easy loading. The outstanding fire view and radiant heat is a plus too.
Me? I’d rather have a Crawford 40 back, and I’ve got a complete one with a 36’ barrel in storage, but good luck convincing the Lady of the Manor!
I could convince her to let me install a indirect draft Baltimore tho…. I heard a guy on here had a really nice Gothic looking one he wanted to trade but he’s gone quiet
I’m hoping he’s ok.

And stove coal is perfect for running it at such warm OAT.
