x2, I couldn't agree more, once you start heating with the stove you will have no interest in burning it like a fireplace.
x3 Even if either of my woodstoves had the option of "open door burning", I'd never use it. Rick
Out of curiosity, How do the stoves with a screen option, prevent over burning when using the screen with the door open? Do they all have a damper, if yes, doesn't the room then fill with smoke?
We briefly looked at the Bennington which I believe had this option but went with another stove without the screen.
