Do any of you stove aficionados have input into pros and cons for these two construction types. Just wondering?
While shopping for small-to-medium-sized stoves, that was my experience also. Few if any steel stoves that I saw offered rear venting.BeGreen said:A big difference for us was that many cast stoves offer the option of rear venting.
MountainStoveGuy said:A lot of secondary burn stoves are rear vented as well, and you can top load one secondary burn style stove, the quadra fire isle royal. I dont mind cat stoves, i think the less maintenace, more user freindly, secondary burn stoves are better for most people. And you dont have to clean or replace the cat in that style stove. But once again, you need to buy what fits your needs and style. I think most of the big stove brans all make quality stuff.
joshuaviktor said:One thing to add to Cat stoves. Cat stoves typically need a better educated grade of burner to run it. If whole family is going to be loading it, be careful of cat, unless whole family knows what they are doing.
