I'm considering installing a Nova 1 or2. This is a fairly new stove made of 3/16" steel. Simple to use, no draft controls and efficient. If you add an outside air intake you could put a damper inside the intake line and control the air, so some mods are possible. How well do you think these stoves will hold up? Any user out there please chime in with your opinions.

It's only been out a couple of years, so too early to tell. It has a great warranty and I suspect in TX it could last a lifetime. @Woodfire2019 has one.

MF Fire Nova - anyone else have one?
Hey there. Anyone else have an MF Fire Nova stove? I see lots of discussion about Jotul, Blaze King, etc on here. We got the Nova mid Fall, moved it up to our lake house, and have been pleased thus far. Anyway, several of the tips on here have been very helpful so thanks guys.

The Nova being only 3/16" thick steel is one of my major concerns. I've seen heavier 1/4" stoves crack along the bends. Maybe this isn't a problem with the Nova, but it does concern me.
Hello. We haven't had any steel problems. The firebox is also lined with insulation board and bricks.

We burn through the night. There aren't flaming logs in the morning, but we have hot coals and just throw wood into the stove then. We haven't pushed it to see how long of burn times we can get I guess
