How did you get the stove mounted on the wall like in the picture Really that fire looks just fine.

Nice out of the box thinking there, using the direct vent on a top vent stove. That prolly moved the stove closer to the wall a bit, and gives you more future options too.
Looks good! I sort of wish I went with the 105 over the 90k. Oh well.

I got my Juniata down to a nice idle fire just like that and it burns very little coal at such a low fire. It takes a little longer to come up to a high fire, but with the temps we have now, it's not a big deal. Once colder weather gets here, I'll turn it up a little bit to keep more heat in the stove and more fire on the grate.

How much do you burn aday with the stove turned down. I seem to burn about 25-30 lb aday. My house is hot during the day just from the idle.
