This is a wonderful stove brand. The stove is well built and was readily available. I purchased this stove for my smaller log cabin. I initially bought this with the intent to use it as a supplemental heat source but will probably end up using it as a primary heat source when I'm home. That said, I have a smaller cabin which was why I chose the F1150 however if you are going to use this as a primary heat source, you'll want to consider a larger unit with a larger firebox to hold more wood. I fear that come next winter, I won't be able to bank enough wood before going to bed to last the night. This has nothing to do with the stove itself hopefully someone reading this may re-consider the smaller stove if they plan to burn a lot. There are concerns as well to have about a larger stove as it will consume more fuel and take longer to heat up. All said and done Im very happy. The only other suggestion I would have is to consider a fan unit. I couldn't afford a $500 regency fan unit but I found a smaller replacement fan off Amazon for like $40 and retrofitted it to the stove. It works very well. I also don't need a lot of fan, just enough to get an air-current going. I have ceiling fans, etc. to move air around the cabin.
