Good point there, imacman! Nevertheless, the Profile 30 was designed in that way and it's the only Whitfield that I know of with this special detail.
The Optima 3 has a safety door lock mechanism that only can be opened with a special Tool. See pics and illustrations below.
zrtmatos, if you can get that stove for $300,- Go for it. Basically the same stove as my Quest Plus, but many improvements are made. The most important is that it's much much easier to clean than my stove, as there are ash clean-out ports. See Photo.
Only thing that needs a little extra attention is the photo eye, but it's easy to access for cleaning from the hopper.
