Researched many stoves and visited showrooms that burned all types of wood stoves (plate steel, cast iron, soap stone etc.)The Encore is Best in Class (top loading, bypass damper, ashpan, Thermastat control etc.). Heat is fabulous and does not require a blower. Love the ability to occassional enjoy and open fire feel with the optional screen with doors open. I have burned all types of stoves, this has been the best. Highly recommend it.
Dislikes:
Very Heavy!
Comments:
We really enjoy this stove and the dealer was very good about key points e.g. chimney dynamics and stove start up procedures. Great product. Like anything else, do your research and install and operate it correctly per the manufacturers instructions.
