Likes: Nice looking stove. Once the stove gets going it throws off some good heat for it's size.

Dislikes: Small fire box. Hard to establish good draft. Cheap Handle. You need plenty of SMALL Splits of wood. You are lucky if you get 2-3 hours on a load of wood on slow burn but watch for cresote.

Comments: If you are looking for a functional stove that can maintain a fire overnight, look elsewhere. If you are looking for a nice decoration that you can have a fire in once in a while, this is your stove.
