Froling's European website shows the S3 & S4 Turbo as being the current models:

The USA website shows the FHG-L and FHG-S as being the current models:

Why the difference in what is offered? Anybody know what the difference is with these units?
 
The optional remote control on the new models would be nice, bet it's expensive though.

Looks like a different secondary chamber design. And maybe the new ones don't have the third door for lighting fires, not clear though.

If I was in the market I'd definitely be asking when the new models will be available here.
 
Mike and Wood-Wannabee, did you check out the nicely done brochure and pdf you can connect to at the bottom of the page of the first link above? Or:

They seemed to show the third door still in place and gave some of the advantages of the newer models such as bigger firebox, optional automatic ignition, fancy new combustion chamber shape, etc. Both links took a a little while to download. Froeling is certainly a class act. The S3 and S4 are elegant boilers, and look like they come with everything but a matching red Ferrari.
