How much money do you have into it and what your walk away limit? At some point you might cross that point where it’s just not a good idea to keep spending. I’m pretty happy with my new Drolet from a heating POV. It’s not a looker but get the job done and probably will for quite some time without much maintenance.

On my used Jotul quest that end with the Drolet i rules out all of the cat models. Most were in similar shape to yours and I wanted a runner.

I missed this post somehow. The stove is running great, except the back plate is not exactly flush and I am losing some of my firebox space. There is nothing else I have to do one the stove now. If I can get a new inner back plate, it will be better. I do not think there will be one sitting anywhere. it is not a common replacement part. It would likely have to come off an old stove that someone is getting rid of.

Long live the 3TDIC-2 !
