Likes: Heats quickly, side loading, holds heat well

Dislikes: Firebox WAY too small. Catalytic converter has to be run over 1200 -1400 degrees to stay clean and not cause stove to smoke. The door is too small.

Comments: This is an older model, probably originally bought in 1988, but still is cranking out the heat and is fairly attractive to look at.
