Can I get some opinions about what this seller of stoves says about cast iron stoves? Is this true? If not why would he print it?

cozy heat said:Ya, this should be fun. Some people love cast stoves to death - so we're treading close to religion here. But search the forums - more often than not the words "cast iron" will be associated with 'cracked', 'broken', 'rebuild', etc. Cast iron certainly has it's place, but IMHO a bunch of loosely fitting cast parts, held together with brittle furnace cement, with fire inside, in the middle of your living room - isn't one of those places.
Not that improperly designed steel stoves can't crack either, but when my dragon is cranking 950F in the dead of winter, I rest much more soundly knowing there is solid steel welding holding the chunks together as opposed to some overblown caulking.

JotulOwner said:My take is that the seller is pushing his product (steel stoves) and bashing everything else. I could be wrong, but, if I am right, that is some clever advertising. Anyway, I have a Jotul and never had one regret about making that choice.
4- finger- Pauly said:Do you have to rebuild cast iron stoves every so often because the joints start leaking air?
How often would a well made cast iron such as Jotul need to rebuilt if used correctly?
polaris said:How many quality cast iron stoves use anything other than rope gaskets? This steel stove pusher is a wealth of misinformation and my Jotuls and I take offence to it!
