After seeing the parts blow up diagram of an Encore model 250 ( (broken link removed to http://www.discountstove.com/2550.html) ) makes me appreciate the simplicity of the Quadrafire design. Makes me wonder what is the most complex one made?
Like anything else , the cost of replacing broken parts should be a determining factor on what to buy.
If you work on cars this would be a determining factor. So why not wood stoves.
All these type stoves (mine included) miss the mark of efficiency due to the fact of heat loss up the chimney.
We the American people have been sold a bill of incompetent goods. And then like cars they add a bunch of bells and whistles to lure people into more STUFF YOU WANT INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU NEED.
The (Rocket Stove Mass Heater) is the simplest most efficient way to burn wood I have ever seen.......
