This is my 3rd season burning with the 1800i. I was looking for an affordable stove that threw out some heat. Well I found one. I also saved about $600 from the government on my taxes because this stove qualified for a rebate. It’s sleek and has a nice size window and throws off some heat! The downside on this stove is it’s a little smaller inside in my opinion. I can fit 4 to 6 decent size logs depending on ash and wood size. My biggest downer is burn time. From start to finish 5 hours tops with a decent bed of coal to start back up. I just don’t see how people say 8 hrs. All in all I really like the stove and would definitely recommend it based on your home setup and size.
