There stoves from 2010 on have been excellent and out of 40+ stoves sold I have had one issue and they took care of it right away. Flaw in one of the castings where it cracked from maybe an air pocket but clearly was not from over firing. The refractory has been great and I accidentally dropped one of the cumbuster refractory covers on the hearth and it did not have so much as a scratch.
Good to hear that. They already have some of the best looking stoves on the market. If the refractory can last at least 10 yrs. they should be back on the road to recovery with a stove that is EPA phase 3 ready at no additional cost.

The new regs are confusing.
Is there a list showing what hydronic wood furnaces will meet the new codes or are there any?
I'm hoping to install a outside freestanding unit to eventually heat several building on the property, and I'd hate to make the investment, only to be required to remove upon selling.
In Oregon http://www.deq.state.or.us/aq/burning/woodstoves/questions.htm they state that upon selling a home, all noncompliant stoves must be removed and dismantled.
