Nothing wrong with Drolet as a bargain priced stove. The same company makes a number of brands, most of them "value" priced. If the shoe fits, wear it....
Of course, check the sizing, etc.

Used a Drolet Adirondack for two years. stove worked well, but was too small my house and too small for over night burns, couldn't get enough wood in for reliable over night burns. It was a front loader and would "splash" ashes out when loading. Seconday burn worked good and was much prettier than my Dutchwest cat stove. Simple to operate, one air control. I think they are good stoves for the money.
I have the Mirade model at my camp, works really well. I bought it from Northern Tool for $739 and it came with a blower. The nice thing about this stove is that it has a bypass damper for easier starting the stove and for smoke free reloads. It is made of heavy plate steel and is a good value in my opinion.
