Four hearths, so four photos:

Full disclosure, the white stove was never hooked up. It's in the basement, which has central heating, and two stoves keep me busy enough.

Beautiful stove, and was awaited with much anticipation on this forum, after they announced it's (then-future) release in 2012. I was actually waiting on buying a newer stove, until I saw one myself.

There are always a few contributing factors, when determining which stove will be popular vs. not, but I think the biggest factor in this stove's lack of popularity among this die-hard crowd is the depth of the ash lip... or the lack thereof. It seemed like every last comment about that stove was that it wasn't deep enough (not as in front to back, but as in the belly of coals it will hold) to do any serious level of heating with it. I think that, due to this, many here wrote it off as a stove for the casual burner.

You are 100% right. I have to take the ashes every 3-4 days when burning 24/7 that's 3-4 loads a day. But it gives a nice fire show heats good but is expensive too.
