Earth stove 1003c - Been a good stove - About 20 years old. It is a good size for my situation. Not too ineffieient. Nice cleanout drawer. But has gotten kind of smokey also needs replacement Cat combustor $ investment. Was this an ancient design with a add on Cat? Has technology really gotten enough better to justify a new purchase?
