We installed our Crown Royal RS7400 in June of 2014. It replaces a Hardy. Three homes are heated with this stove, my home, my son’s home and a two-bedroom apartment. My home is a ranch with the main floor and basement being heated, my son’s home is 30 x 70 and the two-bedroom apartment. His house and the apartment are about 180 feet from the wood stove and mine is about 50 feet away. It took very little wood to heat the domestic water during the summer. Since it is colder we are using about 1/3rd less wood than with the Hardy stove. Before, when temperatures were below 20 degrees the apartment would be chilly and my son’s furnace would turn on. With the Crown Royal his furnace did not turn on and the apartment remains warm even when the temperature drops below 20 degrees. We fill the wood stove around 8 pm and then check it around 9 to 10 am and there is usually some wood left in it. We just throw on a couple more pieces and it’s good for the remainder of the day. I’m really glad we made the switch from the Hardy to the Crown Royal stove.
