This stove with a new developed control system is one of the finalists for the Wood Stove Decathlon.

Be interested to see how its gonna stack up with the rest of the competition.

I like the feature that it beeps when it wants more wood.

I'll like it better when it retrieves it's fuel on its own from the woodshed.

It was a matter of time before something like that came out. I like it but I don't like it, I'm still kind of old fashioned, love the labor of love that comes with the stove. I'd be curious to hear from someone that does have it.

Those tall European stoves are Purdy but they sure are skinny. What is it like to live with a stove like that? I could be talking stoves or models...same difference.

They tend to use a stove more as room heaters in Europe. The wood is cut shorter and burn times shorter. 24/7 burning is not as common in this type of stove. If you need longer heat, get a kachelofen.

A kachelofen is a masonry heater commonly found in homes throughout northern Europe. They are a permanent fixture and come in lots of designs.
