Quadrafire Stoves
Likes: Small, inexpensive, heats well.

Dislikes: Noisy! There's so much noise from thermal expansion that it often wakes me up at night when it comes on. We have a Jotul in another bedroom that is much quieter. The box on the Jotul seems to be sturdier. If I was choosing again I would get another Jotul.

Comments: Dovre customer support has been responsive but the local dealer doesn't seem to know their business.
