So... Are you saying goodbye, like... I've sent you on your way, out to the scrap heap? I guess I would'nt now what a Mag is either.... It's like...woosh, right over my head! I am from the north ya know.... But I did make it to the 8th grade!
US Stove Magnolia.
I am starting to wonder about that stove. Three people here that have gone back to their old stoves had the Mag.
I sent it too my shop.
The new stove may burn more wood but i dont mind. Just never could get to like the Magnolia
it is junk dont really want it at all but i donated my wondercoal out in the shop to a friend in need.
An old saying comes to mind: You get what you pay for. It's a low end stove, I wouldn't expect too much out of it.
Next person that hates one please send it to me. I want to take one for a test drive. I can't believe the thing is all that bad. I have looked at them on the show room floor and it ought to be a decent heater.
One of the guys I often cut wood with has heated his house for years with his, with no complaints.
Not sure what is going on with them. Can't remember enough about other complaints to recall if there is a common denominator or not.

The friend that I mentioned giving my moisture meter to in another thread was a new wood burner with a magnolia. He told me that most of his splits (measured right) were at 24%mc and wouldn't burn.
I gave him some 18% cherry that he said didn't do much better.
Last I heard he was mixing kiln dried and bio bricks.
He was a friend from work and I lost touch with him after that.

Here is something I found on the site.
The thing I noticed when I looked at one a couple of years ago is that the steel baffle was welded in and not replaceable.

I have a not-so-great Drolet Eastwood 1800. I can replace the secondary's and the refractory above and of course the fire bricks. Do I have a Magnolia in disguise? ...agh
it is not exactly fair to lump all epa stoves in with one low end model. Or even all low end stoves in with that one poor example

Need to build a hearth when it was installed that was the biggest pad
You can really pack the wood in it
