good deal. you may not need it in your mild climate, but adding a
heat
exchanger wood pun give you 50% more heat. A word of warning, the
more heat exchanger you have the dryer your wood has to be. You need
to run the fire hotter too. I know of a guy that puts a pint of used
motor oil in a quart oil bottle and toss it in the fire, burns REAL
hot.

My insurance doesn't allow heat exchangers on wood stoves, not that I
need one. When the stove is properly adjusted the magnetic stack
thermometer reads in the lower end of the recommended range, and
little or usually no smoke exits the chimney.
