Likes: - Easy to Load, Very easy to clean, Minimal Creosote buildup, Plenty of heat for the house

Dislikes: - The front window can get a little dirty, the center top thermometer prevents a top sitting kettle

Comments: This stove is overkill for our little house! We generally have to start opening windows once the catalytic combuster starts. I think it will be perfect for our next house (2 stories about 2,000 square feet). Very high quality construction. I would recommend it to anyone!
