Likes: top loader, low emissions, appearance


Dislikes: not user friendly-need to prime stove for 49 minutes before you can close down damper w/o smoking. This would be improved if the liner was smaller diameter 6", which would heat up faster and stay warmer. Apparently, the large 12 by 12 masonry liner is slower to heat up and quicker to cool, forcing air down the chimney and into the stove. this stove needs to run from 600-700 degrees, 24/7
