American Energy Systems Magnum Countryside
I HAVE A WINCHESTER MULTI-FUEL STOVE BY MAGNUM. WE WERE USING ELECTRIC HEAT IN OUR HOME. NOW WE BUY CORN OR CORN/PELLET MIX FOR OUR STOVE. IT'S GREAT! IT DOES MAKE A CLINKER EACH DAY THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED. THAT IS THE WASTED OF CORN FUEL, WHICH ISN'T MUCH. MY HUSBANDS USUALLY REMOVES IT. IT BURNS ABOUT 98% OF IT'S FUEL, TRANSFERS INTO PURE HEAT, UP TO 40,000 BTU'S. WE NEVER USE IT ON IT'S HIGHEST SETTING, IT WOULD BE TOO WARM. WE PURCHASED IT IN NOVEMBER 2009 JUST BEFORE IT GOT REALLY COLD. OUR HOUSE IS NOT VERY LARGE BUT IT HEATS OUR ENTIRE 2 STORY HOME. SOMETIMES ADDITIONAL HEAT IS NEEDED UPSTAIRS ON EXTREMELY COLD DAYS. THE STOVE IS IN OUR LIVING ROOM AND IT MAINTAINS A TEMPERATURE OF 80 DEGREES ON IT'S LOW OR MEDIUM SETTINGS IT DEPENDS ON THE OUTSIDE TEMP., AND THE REST OF MY ROOMS ARE ABOUT 70 DEGREES. WE HAVE A CEILING FAN GOING TO CIRCULATE THE AIR THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE. IT REALLY WORKS ITS AMAZING EVEN WHEN IT'S ONLY 17 DEGREES OUTSIDE. SO FAR WE ARE SAVING 40% ON OUR ENERGY BILL, SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
