Quadrafire Stoves
Likes: The stove is very well made.

Dislikes: The stove is impossible to clean over the top firebricks. Ash accumulates in this area on its way to the vent. Also the glass will not keep clean. After having a Vermont Castings Resolute stove for 20 years I bought the Aspen and was very disappointed. In fact I am going to sell it this fall an get another brand. I have burned wood from my 27 acre woodlot for over 20 years so, I think I know stoves and understand how they work.
