The Stove I bought (an Avalon Rainier 90) I am very happy with. It does what it should and gives me a really good view of the fire itself, (not just for looks, but for reading the condition of the fire, of course).
On the other hand, on the day that they installed it, I was a LITTLE concerned about the legs being bolted on, just BECAUSE they were "bolted on."
If I had to do it over (and perhaps 30 years from now, I suppose I could, but I'll be 83 at that point, Lord Willing, and I may not care much)............I think I'd buy a stove who's legs are fabricated as part of the stove (like a cast iron molding, sorta).
If YOU had a chance to do it over again (buying a wood stove), what changes would YOU make to what you buy??????
