Ours is great, nothing like it for pumping out heat and love having a real fire. We only have a small 4kw stove but it can kick out a lot of heat quickly if you come home and it's freezing.
We're on a boat and heating a small space so placement wasn't so important and mostly dictated by where the kitchen ended and the living "room" began.
They do take a bit of getting used to but once you get the hang of it and are used to your fuel of choice they provide great control over the heat output. Ours will stay lit overnight on a couple of lumps of coal so getting a good fire going again in the morning is really easy (again, this takes a bit of getting the hang of).
thank you, very helpful! Out fitter also recommends multifuel and steel. Any thoughts on placement? How is yours?
