I meant what I said without exaggerating - my wood stove changed my life. Before my T6, I had a VC Vigilant from the 80s, and it was a lot worse. I went through 4 cords in the winter, and I still relied heavily on the backup hydronic system. With a fresh load, the T6 puts out enough BTU to heat the entire house for at least 6 hours on all but the coldest days, and there are still coals 24+ hours after loading it. It's currently 11:20, and there are still flames from when I loaded it this morning around 7; the upstairs room farthest from the stove, which is downstairs in the living room, is a comfortable 67 degrees.

If you have questions, check out /r/woodstoving. One of the mods there, /u/deepwoodsdanger, is a Vermonter, and it's worth subbing just to see the gorgeous stoves they restore.
