Likes: Looks great, that is it!


Dislikes: Hard to start fire, must leave door cracked often to keep fire going. Puts off very little heat compared to what is rated for. Won't even heat half the square footage it is rated for. Everytime you open door smoke goes into room. Air supply gets blocked often by just a little ash in bottom. Door glass and stove always has heavy soot on it. Very poor design overall. Do not buy this stove.


Comments: Still waiting for Vermont Castings rep to come by!
