Likes: By far THE BEST looking stove on the market. Ideal for a typical user. We love the double doors and optional fire viewing screen. Simple to operate and long burn time. Starts easily and draws well. Jotul makes the best stoves on the market.

Dislikes: Absolutely none. The glass does get somewhat sooty, but this is true of any stove with glass doors. Wipe it clean occasionally and burn your stove hot and it should not be a problem.

Comments: Purchased in 2002. Purchased black painted stove. Just an incredible stove. Was using a smaller Trolla stove before. I have been told that Jotul is making changes to the doors for 2003/4 model but have not seen anything related to these changes.
