Very well made, efficient, attractive, etc. The only problem we’ve had is sometimes the house gets too hot. As for as the backpuffing goes, keep a clean chimney; also be sure your chimney...

It’s really not a very good stove. You’ll spend a lot of time repairing it, very poor draft compared to my old stove. I’m not impressed with it and the dealer was useless.

The cast iron burns warps and burns itself out over time. The inside top falls into firebox.
