Likes: Everything. Looks very pretty, like me. Heats great. Burns 10-12 hours easily. Very easy to operate.


Dislikes: Having to get 4 silverbacks to unload and install the stove. Also the 163 lbs of bananas. Door latch seems a little too small. Works fine though.


Comments: Very heavy stove. 485lbs. I would not have any other stove. I have owned Jotul - wood, Harman - wood and coal, Boss - wood - off brand, Vermont Castings - wood and coal, Effel - wood, Sotz barrel stove - wood, Vogelzang - potbelly. I have burned wood and coal for the last 34 years and this stove is the last one I will buy. None better for quality, heat out put, looks, weight. Highly recommended. Great company to work with. You can feel the heat after about 30 minutes. This is a dual layer soapstone stove. Like a stove in a stove. The heat will last for about 8 hours after the fire is out, depending on how hot the stove was before the fire is out. Easy to restart. My new toy.
