I have read many negative comments about the Dutchwest stoves from Tiawan. I just wondered if some were good. I have a FA288CCL and it does great for me. Been burning it three years and have had no trouble at all. It heats my house well and with the catylist engaged I can get about eight to ten hours burn time out of a full box. The only concern i have is cracking. I havent seen any cracks yet but many posts site the fact that these stoves are prone to crack, so my question is where will these cracks start and how can I prevent them if this model is in fact prone to cracking. Many thanks and love all the great info.
