Nice stove.
Looks very similar to our Castine. If you can put up with the trade-offs, you can likely reduce your oil use to nothing.
What are the trade-offs that you speak of?
Stove room that is hot, other rooms that are cold.
Having to deal with the stove every morning before you shit, shower or shave.
The never ceasing need to haul wood, rain or shine.
I think those are the biggest trade-offs. We heat 100% with wood in a free standing wood stove (no blower) and have done for the last six years. Don't plan to change....but there are definite downsides to wood heat. Supplementing your principal heat source with wood is a different kettle of fish.
Good luck either way....and you bought an excellent stove.
