I am still sizing up all things considered. Back in the day when I owned a Earth Stove. I had to crack open the door slightly for the flames to start back up then i could open the door to put wood in, but even then I had to be careful about opening the door to far because smoke would come back into the room. With most of what you folks have now does this exist still? I think I have the wife on the fence about finally putting a stove in this house ( it's been 20 years since I've had one)and I have to have all of my bases covered.
