15K would take 4-5 years to break even if formerly using propane or oil. That is way too expensive for most.

Are the ceramics supposed to hold heat? Less wood, even if dry, would also mean more frequent filling. Even in our -13 weather this winter, I was filling at about 9-10 pm, and not again until about 6-7 the following morning. I used my best locust, oak, walnut, or cherry during the nights, but I always had a big stack of coals for the morning feeding. Worked like a charm.

$8000 is abit much for my area. Although Tennessee isn't that far from Ohio, we seem to escape the brutally cold winters you folks get and our cold season is a bit milder and shorter.

However if I was a younger man with a bigger brood of young ones to keep warm(and keep the heat inside from their comings and goings), I would strongly consider switching over to it.

But I'm getting old and, frankly set in my ways and will use the set up I've got.

But thanks again for the info. Might come in handy as advice for friends and relatives to consider...
