This stove replaced an older timberline that was heating 3600 ft.². The timberline went through wood at an alarming rate but it did very well. The HT-3000 seems to take a little longer coming up to temperature versus my old stove but so far it uses far less wood and heats just as well. I ordered the stove on Sunday and it was scheduled for delivery the following Friday. The shipping company messed up and I wound up picking up the stove myself. Certainly not Drolets fault. I’m in the northeast United States and it has consistently been single-digit temperatures here. The HT-3000 is doing a great job so far. I am surrounded by ash trees that succumbed to the Emerald Ash Borer beetle so I have an abundant supply of ash. For overnight burns I use Red Oak and burn times are as advertised. Great job Drolet!
