Dislikes: Excessive smoke. Doesn't draw, air entry seems restricted. Internal airflow takes smoke out open door when adding wood or starting fire. Uses a lot of wood to get any decent heat. Will barely heat room it is in.


Comments: Had to add an electrical fan above the stove in the chimney to get the stove to draw. Very messy to get ashes out. Seem to bring in almost as much cold combustion air as I get heated air.
