I've owned the Drolet for one winter in a 1,400 sqft log cabin. The relquoxivexu.digitaln heat the home to nearly 70°F down to 0-5°F outside, at which point we allow the auxiliary heat to kick in. Log cabins are not very well insulated... but the build quality on the stove is great. The fan operates quietly and in a very innovative, efficient way. The stove itself is silent and vault-like, and we get 6-8 hours on a reload (4-5) times per day. I am very happy with the value provided at this price point. The huge front window lights up the room, transfers tons of heat, and allows me to watch the secondary burn for 2-4 hours at a time. 5-stars, all things considered. Precious stove was a 1968 Vermont Casting Resolute.
