Search on "downdraft stoves". They can be very particular about draft and often end up much higher maintenance than other designs.
Harmon is a love/hate kinda stove, some love them, some hate them. Me personally I wouldn't own one, much better methods out there of attaining secondary combustion, the afterburner is nick named neverburner for a reason.
Do a search of this site on other Harman stoves to get a better opinion. Aka: TL-300, and Oakwood.
Since you have a Lopi, you could ask your dealer what he thinks of the Leyden model, as it has the same burn technology as the Harman (which is very different from your Cape Cod). On this forum, you will find some unhappy Leyden owners! It tended to be even more unpredictable than the Harmans in how well it performed for people... lots of mixed results with these stoves. I like mine (and the grill feature is great), but it is an acquired taste for some, as it's not the most user-friendly stove around and likes to burn very hot (sometimes too hot, depending on draft conditions).
I didn't catch that you currently have a VC Encore NC in your signature. If it is working great for you then it might be a similarly functioning replacement.
