Shadow Catcher, yes, I would have been ahead if they had left the panels off. Unfortunately because of time constants, I bought my trailer off of the lot instead of ordering one. When I looked at it I thought that they were screws and it would be no problem to remove and replace them. If I buy new again someday, I would order and also have the windows put in. I still would insulate it myself though.
Hankaye, you could heat something on the surface there, but I don't generally run it hot enough to fully boil anything or I would fry! I did use a piece of insulated 4 inch pipe through the wall. I debated on a 4 inch or 6 inch deck plate opening. It turns out that 4 inch was enough with the insulated double wall. I could still go to a 6 inch.
TnRiverLover, I don't use the stove on high. One of the reasons I got this stove was because of it's temperature range. The burner is completely adjustable from very low to roaring. I only use low and medium low. That is more than adequate for my 6 x 12. For a quick warm up I place an O2 fan to one side of it and run it on low to move the air around quicker.
I just got back from spending 4 days camping in it. Nights and mornings were in the low 20s to the upper teens. It was cold out, and I sure enjoyed having the warmth in the CT. I ran the stove on low at night and medium low in the morning. I was trying to take some of the chill off of the floor. Didn't happen. No matter how warm the rest was, the floor was still cold-- at least to me. I am going to investigate insulating the floor next.
